So I'm dual-booting a 100% fully legal completely not hacksed version of Windows 7 and Ubuntu. I quickly began to realize that Ubuntu has a number of shortcomings
- You could sync videos through it's media players. Seriously, I went through them all. Songbird, Banshee, GTKPod, none of them work the way I want them too. I even tried running iTunes through WINE, but that failed harder than Kevin Pietersen. This is big for me 'cause I need music to distract me from my distractions.
- It ran .exes. Yeah, yeah I know, WINE and all that. Well, WINE =/= windows. At all. WINE is great if you're running something for MS-DOS. But try running guitar pro. Or Sibelius. Actually don't. It fails.
- It worked every day without fail. As much as it is fun to play with Ubuntu, I have my limits. I enjoyed finding out how to do things with terminal etc. Having to do them over and over again because Ubuntu is weird that way is annoying.
- Networking was easier. So I tried to set up a static IP on Ubuntu. Phail just about sums it up. On Windows 7, it is much easier AND IT WORKS.

"You could sync videos through it's media players." - And this is a problem because...?
And there are some other contradictions in there for me as well, but it's probably because I don't have a clue what you're talking about. :P
Also, my last word verification was Aangst.
Haha.
