Ubuntu the most user friendly... <snickering> Yeah sure, with such world class QA, almost nothing bad could happen to the clueless!

But i rather have to invest 5h to compile, install & configure something in Linux than spending months pressing teeth together because i can't change, adapt to my workflow or fix something in Windows.

My opinion: just use the right tool for a job. I use Win7 x64 and Arch Linux + aptosid at home. Each to his own.

And both of you should agree to disagree, IMHO.

PS.: using terms like M$ and LostDOS is sooo stuck in 2000.
