3D Studio Max requires Internet Explorer, because it uses the interface .dlls for it's own interface. can't blame discreet for it, blame autodesk, they own discreet. linux doesn't have the hobbyist priced quality 3d apps. the high end 3d apps mostly have linux ports. lots of open source apps for it. can't really play the games, as the manufacturers don't seem to port them. ( lots of open source games are available though... if gaming is your thing ) slower to boot generally, but fewer viruses or security problems. more customisable, with over 12 different graphic interfaces available, they haven't stolen the command prompt only mode away from you like m$ and Apple have. and every distribution worth using in linux has around 6 GB of apps available during the install. hmm.. install, have 8 web browsers, 8 email clients, 2 time managers, 2 sql databases, webservers, email servers, ftp servers, dhcp servers, 2 office suites, 15 graphics apps, 12 sound apps, 6 video apps, 6 ide for programming, on 3 different styles, 12 text editors.... over 1,000 applications available during install, and you can choose which to install. not like winders or macosx which says like our choices or go screw yourself.
