The Bellevue Linux Users Group has published an article entitled "25 Reasons to Convert to Linux". This is not the first Linux vs. Windows text I saw. There are many threads on the newsnet about the subject, but this is one of the concisely written articles.
If I have to give one reason to use Linux vs. Windows, I'll say: IT'S FREE. You keep your money and you get a better OS, but I think the problem is not there. The real problem is most of the people who use Windows don't even realize there are other operating systems out there.
Look at this user what he say (from alt.os.linux)
The question is not about the number of reasons to convert, it is about how to make windows uses try Linux, just try!

When I first starting having a interest in Linux a local friend/guru gave me a knoppix v3.1 CD (from the source, not a burned one may I add). Linux has since become my home operating system and I installed knoppix onto my first *nix box. I still use it today!
I didn't get a really good feel for the advantages of a Linux platform over a Windows platform until I installed it onto my hard drive and was able to go though the hardening and configuration process.
