Why I Am Running On Windows At Home

If people were to ask me, “Why do you have Windows on your home PC and not something like Linux or something?“ and they might because they talk like that around here, then my answer would be, "Games". I like games. I even pay for them. My favourite is the IL-2 Sturmovik set of combat flight simulators. They are what force feedback joysticks were created for.

Flight Gear (http://www.flightgear.org/) is THE open source fight simulator.

If you prefer to fly around space then there is VegaStrike (http://vegastrike.sourceforge.net/).

For real life outer space there is Celestia, (http://www.shatters.net/celestia), if you can't cope with the reality of Celestia you can always add in the Star Trek, Star Wars, Alien and other SF objects and systems that are available.

There are also some really slice screen savers about (http://www.reallyslick.com/).
