What do the Eclipse logs say? They might help in working out what's wrong. Which version of Java are you running as well while you're at it. There are various fixes for certain things floating around, but at the end of the day you get a hodge-podge version that kind of works still. > I don't even care about design view. > > I would be happy if it only had the features it currently has in the Alpha. I woulld've strongly missed this initially, but surprisingly, I'm beginning to see MXML like HTML and don't even resort to the design view anymore (also because it's clunky and slow too in Windows). I'd drop Flex Builder any day if it weren't for the lack of serious alternatives - its nowhere near the IDE I expected. > Who still uses Windoze?

Just more expensive. Right. That makes you super cool spelling Windows and Microsoft that way. And I presume you've checked through the source code of every component used in your installation of Ubuntu to make sure it isn't sending anything either. There are perfectly legitimate reasons for collecting such data, and no doubt Ubuntu (and some of the apps running on your computer) have a similar program. I'm not trying to justify some of the things that Microsoft collect; but just because you don't know doesn't mean it isn't there. You don't seem to have an issue with Google spying on you via your gmail account, your searches and anything else you perform on Google sites whilst logged into your Google account...
