Useless and meaningless rant about my hate for Linux Mint...

[techlists at phpcoderusa.com]

What a great rant!!  I was on my way to look for a video on HULU.... I 
enjoyed this much more.

I think Win7 is one of the best OS's ever made.  I started with DOS 2.11 
and stayed with DOS until 95 when I was forced to use it.

In 2000 I used Linux for 8 months and then went back to Windows.  In 
2006 I used Linux for about 3 months and went back to Windows.  Mostly 
because I need IE for testing.  I hated IE in Wine.  I've been using 
Kubuntu as my main system for 5 or 6 months. I think it will stick this 
time.  It has been a pain making the switch.  I still need to load 
Windows in a virtual machine so I can have everything on one machine.  
No time and no energy to do so at this time.  I stay with Kubuntu 
because I know at some point I am really going to forced to switch over 
to Linux any way.

I have a laptop running Win7.  I use it to test with IE and to use 
Go-To_Meetings which does not work on Linux for some reason.  Since my 
two large screens are connected to my Linux box I am unable to enjoy 
NetFlix until I get a vmachine set up with Windows.

In summary I would say that each have their strong points.  I like some 
of the things about Kubuntu and I like other things about Windows.  If I 
could combine them I would.
