True enough. I've been a Windows user when it was convenient, but since about 1.5 year ago, it stopped being convenient, so I switched to Linux full time.

Majority don't consider privacy when thinking about computers, but some of us that do, it's still not black and white, we're willing to put up with shit as long as it is convenient.
