Fun thread.

[Dennis Ruzeski]

It's not what Linux can do, it's what Windows can't do-- Protect itself.
To show why I like Linux better, I mention things like msblaster, nimda, mydoom, sasser, etc...
Then I show them my CERT mail archives with about a 15:1 Windows to Linux alert ratio and if I'm at my home, I demonstrate how easliy a windows machine can be compromised.
Lots of people are impressed with eye candy, so although I use windowmaker, I also show them a prettied up gnome, kde, and enlightenment environment.
Then I give them a knoppix cd and say try it first with no commitment.

As far as apps go, I like Openoffice (free vs. ~$300) GIMP, Blender, Gaim, and k3b.

	Quiet, so how about a fun thread? While I spend much time telling
people how Linux is better than Windows in many (if not all) ways, I
frequently get the response: "So what can I do in Linux that I can't do
in Windows?". We all know there are Windows apps that lock people into
Windows, can anyone think of some good apps for Linux that would lock
people in? Pretty much everything is also ported to Windows as well. Any
ideas?
