Things I Miss When I'm Forced to Work in Windows

,----[ Quote ]
|    1. Good window management: The scroll wheel in Windows only works when I 
|    click inside IE. I can't just move my mouse over the window and start 
|    scrolling. This takes a lot more work than you'd think it does. There's 
|    also not "Always on top" choice, meaning cluttered space becomes really 
|    annoying, bringing me to my second point    
| 
|    2. Virtual desktops or workspaces: When the space is cluttered, which is 
|    normal because I'm on someone else's computer and can't close any of the 
|    stuff they left open, I can't just switch to a new desktop to start fresh. 
|    It really sucks. If you live in Windows, you have no idea how much this 
|    one hurts.    
| 
|    3. Middle-click to paste...

Windows is OK when time does not matter.  Things are done more efficiently in
GNOME and KDE.

10 Reasons I Use Linux

| Seriously, the age of Windows or Mac is over! All of middle school students 
| and teachers should have Linux. However if you want to use windows and Linux, 
| or Mac and Linux why don’t you try dual operating system? (I use dual 
| operating system) You can switch to Linux and the other system just by 
| restarting the computer. Get Linux!

Moving from Mac to Ubuntu: Why I’m switching

,----[ Quote ]
| Why I’m leaving Mac
|
|    1. Crap file management.The Finder doesn’t work for me. No location bar
|    and no tree strucure side panel makes it difficult to navigate folders and
|    move files around the way I want to.
|    2. Insufficient panels & customization. In Ubuntu I can have as many
|    panels I want, can put all kinds of stuff on them, and can arrange them
|    however I want. In OSX You just have the dock, and you can really only put
|    applications or files on them, and you can’t even put in a separator to
|    keep them organized.
|    3. Various other annoyances. Such as:
|           * program menus are glued to the top of the screen on one monitor
|           only, which detaches them from the window. This is especailly
|           annoying when the program you’re using is on the second monitor.
|           * the date/time doesn’t open to a navigable calendar. I often use
|           this to check dates in the past or future.
|           * you can’t see hidden files unless you run a command from the
|           terminal to turn them on. Thus, hidden files are either always on
|           or always off.
