-* Office suite
+98 people out of every 100 could run Linux as their main operating system tomorrow, and the 99th person could run it in 6 months when (X app) they are waiting on is finished/upgraded etc.
-** OpenOffice
-** Koffice
-** Gnumeric
-** Abiword
-** StarOffice
+However, people have varying levels of excuses they use not to do so.
-* Games
+; __I can get all I need anyway with warez__ : Why should we change when we can get what we want for free on Windows anyway. That one is kinda self answering. Warez is bad.
-** WineX
+; __It doesn't run Microsoft Office__ : True, but Office __really sucks__. Use OpenOffice. Or KOffice. Or Gobe Productive. Or Gnumeric and Abiword.
-* Photoshop
+; __It doesn't play my games__ : True, but see GamingOnLinux. And go buy a console and play games on that.
-** Gimp
+; __It doesn't have Photoshop__ : True, but for most people, [TheGIMP] is suitable for your needs. And eventually it would be cool to port the PS interface to GIMP.
+
+; __I dual boot back into Windows and never find a reason to go back into Linux__ : Well, try removing Windows from your computer totally. You'll feel better, I'm sure.
+
+The reason that the answer to all these questions is 'true' is that you are asking "Why can't I have Windows Feature (x)." LinuxIsNotWindows. You just need to change your mindset a little.
