So, it is YOUR own choice to or not to use alpha/beta test releases Get yourself a $Windows7$ and see how it communicates to your hardware Also, the Unity (which I personally dislike) can switched off It is YOUR OWN choice Few years ago I disliked the idea of GL-based screen switch Now I adore it (+ it gave me more understanding of GL itself) The hardware and software (including the operating system) must be in harmony. But if we speak about GPL software, then you should realize that it is FREE as a BEER. Get it for free and use it. If you cannot understand how it works, hire a consultant or study yourself. Canonical just works for you same way Is it true, people ???
