If the machine is old, no dubt, an old linux will solve any performance issue...

Windows OS are made for gigantic (when you buy) computer resources... memory, disk space... whatever

Waste of resource happens ALWAYS cause windows is not made to be too efficient (same apply to NT/XP stuff and others business oriented... waste resources and never completely stable).

Linux systems are more compact and more reliable even on old hardware and obsolete stuff...

You cannot even compare efficiency between an old linux and some new but weak windows (e.g. vista). Win 7 is much about big promises (as always) but this is the price you pay for nice interface and usability.... much dedicated software and user support at each step...

Linux is for real men, Windows is for people who wanna troubles.... cause like too much its look and feel.

Why I have to buy and install something that go crashes each time I open a stupid document (like some old office suite on vista... it's boring man!)

I put a linux inside, put openoffice and I'm done. No troubles, no pain, nothing.

And free.

I have to say that people must consider windows to use... but never say it's (really) a reliable product....

I use it too... and very often, but I prefer unix, I prefer linux systems, I prefer full control and somethign that works.

Kind regards,
Max
