The biggest improvement in Linux (IMO) is the attitude adjustment that many of the users have undergone. The elitists are still around but these days tend to get told to pull their heads in.

I got interested in Unix/Linux around 10 years ago but after a short spell left it for a number of years. There's only so much of "RTFM!" that I could stomach.
I came back to it at Mandrake 8 and since then have had a dedicated test box.

I like Linux, but I also like aspects of Windows so in the foreseeable future will have at least one Windows box.

For those who haven't tried Linux, give it a go.

There are distros that need not be loaded onto your hdd (and will not interfere with your Windows installation) but can be operated from the cdrom.

Here is one:http://www.knopper.net/knoppix/index-en.html
