I'm a new Linux user, and I don't see myself using Windows again on my personal computer. How can anyone fight down Linux? It's free. Users are granted freedom in computing.

I'm very well aware of the political spectrum, you clearly are not a centralist.. Maybe you can sight ONE posting of your which supports GOP positions to change my mind.. JUST ONE

Lol. I do fit the whole leftist Mac user stereotype, but I don't use one to make a political statement. I use it because the accessibility is so much better than Windows. I've used a Mac as a sighted, visually impaired, blind, and deaf-blind user and never had to pay an extra dime for software. The only time I had to pay for hardware was when I got a braille display (and that's only because deaf/blind services was too slow for me otherwise they would have covered it).

Windows has yet to be able to boast about that--JAWS costs $1,000, WindowEyes sucks, and so does ZoomText--oh yeah, and Windows Magnifier is a joke. So, Apple it is. I can also use my iPhone with speech output and if I had a braille display that worked via Bluetooth instead of USB port, I could use it via braille too. I have deaf-blind friends that use the iPhone via braille and love it.

I'm not a gamer either, so Apple totally wins in my book.

I forgot to add: I tried Linux once and it made no sense to me and I couldn't understand the screen reader for beans.

I don't have a specific political stance and I don't have a computer.

Haha, so you simply willed this post into existence, then?
