First of all, I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE Linux (count those o's Molly! lol)
BUT, think about this. Ubuntu rolls out a new version every 6 months. You go over to the Jones' house and you want to show them something cool, then you realize they are still running 5.04 but you are running 5.10, you could so totally be like "Yeah, you really need to upgrade man!!!" (You walk away with that "I'm soo much better than you are feeling.")
