Why Ubuntu is harder than Windows

,----[ Quote ]
| Installing Software:
| To install a piece of software on Windows 
| you just follow a few easy steps. First 
| you go to the store and buy the software, 
| then you pop the CD into your disc drive, 
| enter the CD key, wait for the software to 
| install itself onto the hard drive, and 
| you are good to go! Be sure to put the CD 
| and key in a safe place in case you ever 
| need to reinstall the software.
| 
| On Ubuntu to install a piece of software 
| you open the software center. Type in the 
| name of the software you are looking for 
| (or browse by category), click install, 
| and wait for the software to download and 
| install.
| 
| Default Software:
| Windows offers a fantastic default 
| software install. Need to write a paper? 
| No worries, Windows has the feature-rich 
| Wordpad. Want to surf the net? Internet 
| Explorer has always provided a safe 
| webrowsing experience.
| 
| Ubuntu's default software selection is 
| somewhat disappointing. It has a full 
| featured word processor, spreadsheet 
| editor, and presentation creator. I know 
| most people don't use facebook or twitter, 
| but just in case you do Ubuntu includes 
| Gwibber, a software that fully integrates 
| your social networking with your desktop. 
| For webrowsing Ubuntu only has Firefox and 
| if you want to instant message Ubuntu's 
| Empathy only supports facebook, AIM, 
| yahoo, MSN, IRC...

Linux User? 7 Good Reasons to Go Back to Windows

,----[ Quote ]
| 1. The Sky is Blue
| And so is Heaven! BLUE! Why do you think 
| the screen goes blue from time to time in 
| your Windows system? That's a reminder of 
| what is to come and what is in store for 
| you once Windows gets to be 8. A vertical 
| infinity of BLUE SCREENS! Surely, you 
| don't want to miss it, do you?
| 
| 2. Less Clutter Means SOMETHING
| It means what? How would I know?? You have 
| to meditate to get the answer! Windows XP 
| gave you Explorer and Windows Movie Maker. 
| Vista didn't give you Movie Maker, but 
| gave you a demon--stration of Office 2007! 
| Windows 7 Starter didn't give you 
| anything! Meditate with me: Less is more, 
| less is more, less is more...

What Linux cannot do.

| It does not have a:, c: d: to z: drives. Linux does not see internal drives,
| partitions and external devices as seperate drives. According to Linux (and
| every *nix based operating system) every piece of hardware is treated as a
| file. Even the computers memory, the internal busses, USB devices, mouse and
| keyboard are all files under Linux. To use these devices is all done in
| exactly the same way. Reading and writing to the relevent file. They are
| called devices only for our benefit.
