Another reason for not switching to Linux

It is - generally - quite important that you use a system that is completely compatible with the system other people use.
It eases help from others, sharing of common files, etc.

In a micro-economics course, I was taught that a stable equilibrium can exist where (almost) everyone uses an actually unfavourable system, just because others do so too. Switching is considered more 'costly' because it makes you 'an exception'.

In any case, this CD lowers the barrier for switching and therefore I'm glad it exists!
