You still use non-original windows? Ehmm ... .. should not, would not now there are free operating systems like Linux and also reliable? Maybe you still "afraid" to start learning Linux because Linux is said that "difficult and incomplete. " Actually it is difficult or not depends on the personality of each of us, if we did have a strong determination to avoid the use of pirated software plus a high learning spirit, exactly what other people say is hard to actually be turned into a very exciting , as has been my own experience while learning Linux.
Linux is now very different to a few years ago, you could say that the current generation of Linux is very user friendly and has been very quite complete if it is used only for the business office and home work, even now many software - software for special purposes such as programming, 3D animation, etc. are available for FREE on Linux systems. The following are examples of software in Linux that has the same function in Windows:
* Mp3 player => XMMS, Amarok etc
* Movie player => VLC media player, Xine etc
* Microsoft Office => Open Office
* Photoshop => Gimp
* Web browser => Firefox, Chrome etc
* Download manager => KGet, WGet etc
* And much more Softare other applications that are not less with software-software in Windows.
If you install a Linux Operating System, usually almost all standard facilities as I mentioned above is included in the CD of Linux packages, if you need software - any other special software you can download from the internet or through the facilities of repositories in your Linux system , and even some existing software in Windows could also run on Linux by way of using software emulator called: Wine.
After I tried different types of (distributions) of Linux, so I concluded to further encourage you to use Linux from the Ubuntu distro just because it is suitable for beginners, easy to use, systemnya also very lightweight making it suitable for a computer processor is not too high, and you can ask FREE Ubuntu CD is in http://shipit.ubuntu.com to be mailed to your home directly from the Netherlands, or can also buy his CD in stores IT product sales center.
If you are still not ready to abandon Windows piracy, you could also be installing two operating systems on your computer that is Linux and Windows, when you're quite familiar with Linux, then you can remove the pirated Windows from your computer. Do not forget to back up important data on your hard drive if you're still just learning to install Linux. You can also use a bootable linux cd or flash to run linux without changing the configuration or disturb your windows OS
Let's learn Linux, let's Empower voluntary movement using original software.
