I am going back to Windows

That title, makes you all fellow Linux users wanted to know why someone would like to go back to Windows, really? and it is because for all of us who has discovered the freedom, and not only the free as in beer, or the free as in freedom, but also the "living free of system halting", the "living free of viruses", the "living free of having to format the hard drive and reinstall from time to time", it is hard to believe that someone may want to forget about this, and go back to Windows.

But face it, there are people who likes to live with troubles, just because those are the troubles they are used to, and they do not want to start something new because it may demand some of work from their side.

This people is usually afraid of the change, even if that change will make its life easier, or better, you may read more about The going back to windows people.

But hey! we need to look far beyond the problems and look for solutions to convert more people to Linux, why? if we can say, "We do not need those lazy guys, let them live in that Windows world", but that is not true, we need them, Linux need them, just because there is software from the windows world that we need, and we do not have access to it, or at least not easy access to it, we may deal with wine, and yes it is improving day by day, but it would be great to have AutoCad for Linux, or Visio for Linux.

These programs does not exists for Linux (There are options, but they are not the same), just because we are less than windows users, so we need more people using Linux.

Going back to the fact that there will always exist people avoiding changes, we will have to start at schools, we need to make them start with Linux, and then they will never want to change.

My 7 year old girl, is attending to computer classes at her school, and she is using.... yes you got it!! Windows!, there are 30 children in her grade, if we offer ourselves as volunteers to install Linux at schools, and help them to teach our children Linux, then when those children became adults they will be stuck at Linux, if someone shows them Windows in the future, they will say soon after trying it for few days "I am going back to Linux".

So, we better focus on children and forget about the old guys.
