Thoughts on operating systems

I have been using Arch Linux now for about 1.5 years. All of the years that I spent in the world of Microsoft Windows is gradually fading from my memory. It's a very strange feeling. I don't have any regrets about using Windows, even though I love my current operating system much more than any Windows system. It was just the natural evolution of things. Windows was what I knew and the only thing I knew. Hell, I loved "tweaking" my system by invoking regedit and deleting or modifying registry keys. It was fun to make Windows faster. But now that I use an operating system that stays fast, at all times, my thinking has thus evolved. I used to have the desire to convert Windows users to GNU/Linux, but that's no longer a desire of mine. I believe, over time, the popularity of GNU/Linux will increase, so the number of users will naturally increase. It would be silly to try and speed up the process. Windows 7...Many people will be switching to it, but I will not. Why? Well, because I'm not really interested in it. My operating system could become Windows-7-esk if I wanted it to be. But no thanks. I would rather have a minimal setup with frequent updates to my favorite applications (one of the perks of Arch Linux); I don't want to pay for it, not have to rely on a commercial company for support, etc. Off to bed...

Obama is Awesome!!
