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.

Re: KDE ... these days it's quite small.
Brian, your comments (and advice and guidance) are always especially
helpful and very, very much appreciated.
I, too, much prefer KDE and Mint to the many other distros that I have
tried. Sometimes, I get very frustrated with changes that they make
that
often seem to me to create a frustrating nuisance and make things worse
than the way things were before the change. I do *despise* everything
about nepomuk and akonadi and never seem to have been able to totally
eliminate it from my systems.
Also, for example, I really wish they would bring back the hide button
for the start line.
Most annoying to me is when they force new things on us instead of just
giving the option to "opt-in" if we should choose to do so.
Yet, all-in-all, I am just so incredibly thankful to not have to live
with that most horrific of all annoyances that is M$. Every time I have
to try to help my dear bride with her M$ box, I praise God again that I
don't have to contend with that.
