"What is the True Cost of Windows?" is an article that you should read, as it provides a rather in-depth explanation as to what real expenses you are going to have in operating a Windows system as opposed to a linux system (like Ubuntu for example).
AND it is not only the real costs that we are up against in running Windows, but also the potential down-time when something does actually go wrong. For example, should you accidentally acquire a virus through downloading and installing software. Sometimes acquiring a virus can be so simple, even with software from a reputable source.
ON THE OTHER HAND, the author of the article explains how that in ten years of running Linux derivative operating systems he has not had a single virus, or other unwanted file.
READ the article, it is highly informative and may change you mind on whether your next operating system is going to be a Microsoft product or a Linux distribution.
