People tend to associate Linux with Open Source Software, or OSS. Last week I switched from using Linux to using Microsoft Windows XP. Although Windows XP does eclipse Linux in terms of features, performance, and usability, there are Open Source programs on Linux that I enjoyed, such as the GIMP, GPG, Mozilla, and Open Office. Luckily, these programs were ported to Windows. After eXPeriencing these programs on Windows XP Professional, I had a revelation filled with irony: Open Source Software works better on Windows XP than it does on Linux!
