Re:Will anyone gain anything from this? Not Linux (Score 1)

I'll back him up on it. When I installed Ubuntu, almost everything I needed was available right out of the box. The only thing missing was my preferred IM client. Within 2 hours, I'm able to do a full install, fully update, install everything I want, everything I might like to have someday, grab lunch, and start being productive. 2 hours on Windows on the same machine, and the updates aren't even finished yet, forget about installing anything useful.
