"In this article, we will focus on all the little programs that you are used to using in Windows, and their equivalents in Linux. People who have switched over often complain that they can't find the proper movie player, or MP3 player that they like to use. Sometimes, this is so irritating that they switch right back, just because they couldn't watch their favorite movies, or listen to their favorite songs. What they do not know is that there are many alternatives available in Linux. Some of the programs are so much better than their Windows counterparts that you may wonder why you didn't switch before."
