Here are 5 reasons to not use Linux on your computer:
1. You have to learn to use it. Some Linux distributions are not difficult to use it, but you have to learn it. Linux is different than Windows.
2. You have to learn to use new programs. Yes, is true, some of Windows programs has a Linux version. But many of them don't. Or even if they have is possible that Linux version to be old and outdated.
3. You will have problems with games. There are some games for Linux. But there are very few. Many of the new games are not working on Linux. Some times you can use emulators but you slow down the computer.
4. You will have problems with your documents. Microsoft Office is not working on Linux. You can use Open Office, which is good but not fully compatible with Microsoft Office.
5. You will still have to buy software. The Linux myth is that everything is free. But is not. There are Linux distributions which are not free. If you want good software or games you have to pay for it.

What? Do you even know what you're talking about?
1:
Have you eve heard of Ubuntu? I'm using it now, and tasks that in windows used to take hours (like installing a developer library, with its many dependencies) only took me about 30 minutes thanks to Adept.
2:
Linux relies on Open Source, which is made by PEOPLE, just like you and me, who also , just like you and me, prefer intuitive and usually very easy-to-use software (that is , if you're prepared to actually THINK when you're using a program, not acting automatically, according to stuff you've been previously taught)
3:
Starcraft will run on Wine, Unreal Tournament has already been ported, etc. But there are a lot of other games made for linux, just as good and complex as new commercial ones (just do a google search or visit www.happypenguin.org)
4:
Again, HAVE(!?) you even seen OpenOffice? If not, take my and a few thousand other satisfied users word for it: it DOES import from office XP. Plus, it does a lot of cool stuff that micro$oft office doesn't (really 3d (opengl) charts and graphs, and has a much better equation editor)
5:
Yes, there is commercial software for linux. But then again, why would you want to buy any as long as there are perfectly good and functional Open Source alternatives?
