Alternative to Windows: Linux OS or Mac OS X. Oh Yeah!
I've used Windows for 10 years. Keeps giving me damn problems. Last year I installed a dual-boot system: WinXP Home/Linux. One day Windows wouldn't reboot. I had to buy a new computer to make it work again. I re-installed the old hard drive back into the system, but Windows XP Home wouldn't start. Guess what did? Linux! Ha! Now with the new system HDD I have Win XP Pro. I don't have icons on the desktop and my taskbar disappeared(for a month), I just fix all the Office programs by buying freaking $400 of worthy( or should it be worthless?) software (f-ing waste of money!). For the last week I can't go online using AOL, keeps saying Windows is low in memory or disk space?!(I have plenty of disk space, & no memory leaks!). I'm forced to let my sister use Linux. Bad thing: She keeps downloading Windows crap, which mostly doesn't work in Linux. I could do anything in Linux Fedora Core 2.6.12.1-1381_FC3 (I know there's newer versions of all distros, but I'm ok with this one.)that I could use with Windows. If it wasn't for all the stuff in Windows, I would have deleted it. Only wished I knew about Linux earlier. Learned about Linux during a computer course in college. Linux never crashed on me. Not even once! Windows crashes every 3 weeks(is there an automated program? Yes!)! Used Linux since March 2005.

wikipedia isn't very good.
I tried to EDIT a commment, then DELETED my comment because I didn't want to SUBMIT it, but then the next time I check back to the same article, they say my IP address have violated their terms by editing stuff that doesn't belong to me! I know for a fact that there could be millions of people who are attached to 1 IP address, depending on the time given to them by the domain's admin. Hello? Wikipedia, wake up. Many of the errors should be corrected before being put up on websites. I found many stuff pertaining to historic Chinese people's names which are spelled or romanized incorrectly into English! I tried to make a correction, but then they say I don't have the right to edit contents in the articles (on the fact that someone else who used the same IP address as I, had violated their terms!)
