   A lot of the stuff in Linux (e.g. installation in Ubuntu Linux) is more   
   intuitive than in Windows. The cost of acquiring new skills is low given   
   that there's similarity between the operating systems. Security is improved   
   and key applications such as a Web browser are the same. Those who fear   
   repartitioning will often not require more than just E-mail, Web surfing and   
   some work with an office suite.
