Okay, okay, Linux doesn't suck. But it's not right for me. Let me present some numbers that will perfectly illustrate the difference between Windows Vista and Ubuntu 8.10.
Time spent installing updates
Windows Vista: 3 hours
Ubuntu 8.10: 2 minutes
Time spent setting up a network bridge
Windows Vista: 2 minutes
Ubuntu 8.10: 3 hours to no success
Both of them suck, but I know which one I'm going with. Oh well. Maybe Jaunty Jackalope will do it for me.

linux sucks
That's right, Linux sucks.
Linux has one explainable demographic: the computer geek whose life sucks so bad that he or she (okay, he) needs to have constant problems to fix in order to validate his self-worth.
It's more stable! It's more stable! You'll never want to go back to Windows. By the way, we don't have drivers for your wireless card. Use this program to emulate the Windows version of the driver. Oh, and you know how you never have to restart Linux? Well, you have to restart it now. And then it's never going to successfully boot up again.
Because aside from requiring two different installer discs, throwing errors that no one has any conclusive idea about, and freezing upon startup or shutdown, Ubuntu Linux makes my computer run hot. 90ยบ C hot. Plastic-tablecloth-melted-to-the-table hot.
Maybe my computer sucks. I guess I won't argue that. But if it sucks, it sure is good enough for an (apparently inferior) operating system, isn't it?
The only good thing I can say about Ubuntu is that I never thought I'd be relieved to go back to Vista. The Microsoft Sound is going to be music to my ears after this disaster.
