I've been quite happily using Linux on my workstations since 1998. In 2000, I found the Linux distrobutions (RedHat, Mandrake, and SuSe) so much easier to use and especially easier to maintain than Windows, that in the autumn of 2000 I finally wiped the last Windows installation from my home computers.
Linux, in my experience, is easier, faster, more secure, more stable than Windows. Easier is subjective, but increasing numbers of non-techies are coming to the same conclusion based on their own experiences. Faster, more secure, and more stable are established facts. By the way, why is it that Microsoft's new license prohibits the publication of benchmarks?<nobr> <wbr></nobr>;) Have they something to hide
If you need even easier or are still dependent on Illustrator, Photoshop, Quark, then I recommend OS X. Macintoshes are quite affordable these days and OS X gives you the best of both the Macintosh interface and UNIX - easy to use, yet fast, stable, powerful, and easy to maintain.
