Only one word: Free.
Most people dont think they have to pay for software.
This is not good because software is same as other goods.
And goods are not free!!
So why should be software!

Yeah. Its cost is a major factor.
Software should be free because of its owners are greedy.
People like microsoft just suck money out from people's pockets.
Free alternative should be available.

In open source system you are free to do whatever you feel like & there will be no virus attacks.
But the only problem with it is they do not run wide applications.

Free and open source software is all about sharing!
Best Antivirus Product NOD32. And remember great protection doesn’t have to slow down your computer.

Better and Secure
Open source is better as they are cheap and offer more functionality then paid ones. They are more secure as most are virus free.
