Comment Re:It doesn't matter (Score 1) 470

The Snowden revelations have finally convinced me to ditch Windows. I've gone for Xubuntu. It's worked out if the box and almost zero config. The wife is, coincidentally, happier with our new system and for the very few things that are missing for me, Windows7 in a VM is a cinch. Yes I am just one data point and yes I am a geek but I didn't grow up on a command line and although I'm learning, its not because I have to to get the system working.

Comment FF running as portable from a networked drive. (Score 1) 381

I can only get Firefox to do this reliably. Both chrome and opera have their limits and I never found a portable IE that worked properly. Portable because I have no privileges to install software and "from a network drive" so that what ever desktop I'm on I have the same browser environment. Firefox has the bonus of letting me be logged in with the group admin profile and still run my own browser with my own profile.
