I am a avid Windows user. Sure I like to play around with the various disto’s of Linux, but primarily I rely on Windows. Everywhere I go on the net no matter what the topic is, someone will always feel the duty to point out how much better and secure Linux is compared to Windows. On the surface they appear to be right, but you have to ask yourself Is this a fair comparison? Is it even a good comparison?

You push the power button on the front of your PC. The sun is shining, you have your coffee fresh and ready, and you're ready to begin your day. All of a sudden, you see a BSOD (Blue Screen of Death), officially known as a Stop error before your operating system kicks in. What should you do?
