3. No problems with malware since I made the switch to linux
Not only that but my 2001 model computer just came alive when I installed linux. I have no reason now to give thought to buying a newer dual core, quad core or whatever else is out there today. Ubuntu 10.04 is the best operating system I've used bar none.
