Also, we take a look at our five favorite Linux applications for people who've recently switched. Direct replacements for a few of those must-have apps on Windows.

Cool episode. I remain Li-curious, but am not ready to come out of the Windows just yet. Sometime in the upcoming year I'll be getting a new laptop and I think that would be a perfect opportunity to try out Linux on my old machine.
Cheers,
Jeff

I switched to Linux (more specifically, Uubuntu) about 5-6 months ago. At first, I thought Linux was hard and complicated. Honestly, that's how it looked like. But after getting help from forums and, of course, Google, I almost literally "fell in love" with Linux. Since then I've installed over 10 different distributions on my virtualbox, and now enjoy the benefits of an OS that I once thought was not for me.
Thank you, guys, for giving me alternatives to programs I used in Windows. Sorry to Windows-lovers, but I'm never going back to Windows again!

What about OS X?
Don't want to sound snarky, but does Windows always = bad?
Can't OS X users be switchers to OS X as well?
