Linux

Defo not for geeks!

My kids used to have a Windows PC.

Every 3 months it would be 'Dad, the PC's gone funny'.... cue a format and reinstall to get rid of all the spyware/virus'/toolbars etc that had installed themselves. Followed by a backup of all their files and an apology cos I could never figure out where IE stored their favorites.

Since then I've not had ONE SINGLE CALL for support :-)
