Windowless world.

[Johnneylee Rollins]

So, it came to my attention today as I spent over six hours fighting
with windows that it's simply not worth it. Not for games, not for any
windows only applications. To install a vulnerable operating system on
any of my hardware, just to have to get software that protects the
operating system from attacks seems altogether ridiculous. My
conclusion so far is that unless you can afford to pay me $45/hour to
administrate systems for you, don't even ask or mention anything about
windows. It has no place in what I do, other than gaming
entertainment. For the other small dohickeys, I will use the windows
installation on my xen server. I keep it around purely to see how
quickly it can get infected. I've got about 17 seconds so far. But
that's another story. From now on, I'm strictly Unix and its variants
for operating systems and sparingly using windows in a virtual
machine.

It was so ridiculous though, I cleared a partition from my system to
allow room for windows. I started the install, then the sticker on my
laptop was too rubbed off to read. I then tried to boot into Ubuntu to
find that goddamn windows decided to remove the ubuntu partition
sitting inside a logical partition and nothing else. I was so
infuriated, I broke all my windows disks, removed everything windows
from my environment and promptly reinstalled ubuntu. At this stage,
I'm left at reinstalling everything and reconfiguring things. As well
as recovering hours of work lost. Needless to say, I hate windows more
than I hate anything in this world.

Quite the amount of qq'ing from me, huh?
