MS have really lost it with Vista. If it wasn't for the .NET framework and gaming I would happily jump on the open source ship.

Yes. Vista knows better than you. Perhaps that should have re-written it a second time.

I tried to move over to Linux. After spending a couple of days with ubuntu not liking my gfx card and causing my headaches and people suggesting I try gentoo, but I'd have to compile it my self, I went back to my installation of vista and spent the next 2 days operating at 100% efficiency rather than 0% :P I know this is alot to do with my inexperience with Linux but I'm after an OS I can install, click a few updates and then use ... not something where I have to do this, try that, find out the drivers arn't around yet or compile myself. If you enjoy messing around with OS's then it's probably great :D I personally like messing aorund with games and some light development to unwind from work :P

I think the world is going to explode. Microsoft can go to hell they are fucked up. Microsoft needs to take responsibility for their terrible mistakes. The world runs on computers and 90% of the computers are running their software. They need to get their shit together.

Halfway to OSX is tempting too. Get the best of both worlds there if you don't mind the hardware cost, I have a background using FreeBSD.

I do mind the hardware cost ;) I already have a perfectly functioning PC that I bought a month ago :) And I have strong feelings against giving any of my money to Apple :P The reason you gave in the original post are also the reason I don't think switching would be permanent with me either. I run Visual Studio and lots of games ... whilst most games can be poked into running on other OS's VS defiantly can't. This would mean having to dual boot and I suspect I'd end up just sticking in Windows out of convenience rather than switching back forth. I'd love to give Linux a go and I'm a strong beliver in the need for competition in the OS market ... but for my requirements and wants I guess Windows is the best choice. It helps that I really like Vista too hehe.

Results 1 - 10 of about 102,000,000 for linux problems Results 1 - 10 of about 35,900,000 for vista problems your point is? :P Results 1 - 10 of about 1,720,000 for linux praise Results 1 - 10 of about 1,770,000 for vista praise we could think up these all day but in themselves they prove nothing :p It could be there are less problems posted about Vista because it's newer, it could be there are less annoyances with Linux because Linux users have a long history of having to put up with stuff like a lack of drivers or spending ages fiddling to get the right environment. It could be alot of things ... but what we have here is pretty much usless data to base any of these assumptions on :P

I ment Linux ;) as I said earlier in the post ... me and Apple isn't going to happen :P I spend money on Microsoft ... atleast a small amount seeps through to BillyG and goes to a good cause ... I spend money on Apple (and thier extortionate profit margins) and atleast a little biut of that money seeps through to Steve Jobs and goes on uhhh turtle necks? I see MS as the lesser of 2 evils ... they do lots of wrong but I see many parts of MS trying to do right ... both business wise, software wise and world peace wise. Apple just seem to do wrong ... maybe I don't go to the right news sites? Right now at the top of my evil list are Apple, Sony, Google and EA ... google I dont directly give money too but thier search is just so damn good I have to use it, EA unfortunaly get quite a lot of my money X| because thier games are just so damn addictive.

I can suggest you to use a chosen distro for a long time rather than zapping through all distros available. Yes it is a bit of pain at first but after that you will see that there are not so many difference between Windows and efficiency and reliablity. I'm using SuSE since my college years and trying Mono on it.
