I read all the time about open source and how wonderful Linux is, but it has always eluded me.
I have tried setting it up and sometimes I can even get it to work, and then I want to do something that only works on Windows or there is an application that only runs on Windows.
Eventually, I go back to what I am familiar with even though it is expensive and I do not particularly like the company behind it.
One thing I did wonder, however, was if any of this terrific open source software is ever written to the Windows platform? That would really interest me.

The question about Linux is almost a question about taste, but one must remember that things are changing. With Novell now the proud owner of Germany's SuSE Linux, anything could happen on that front.
As for open source for Windows, yes, indeed, there is quite a lot. One of the most famous projects was the original Mozilla Web browser (the heart of Netscape Navigator).
