Has Ubuntu Replaced Windows on Your Box?

No, I wish it could, but at the moment it there are several things that
don't work for me on Ubuntu so I need to use Windows :( Namely:



DVD PLAYBACK
*World of Warcraft* (I know that there it's *possible* to get it to run
under Wine, but I can't get Wine to install because of my AMD64 CPU and
the source installation errors out...)

*Winamp/Streaming media* - Haven't had much luck with this apart from a
few radio stations. Can't get Realplayer to install properly for much
the same reason as the above.

*Music* - My headset doesn't work so I'm stuck with my crappy laptop
speakers on Ubuntu.



I love Ubuntu and wish I could use it exclusively, but for an
inexperienced user such as myself getting it to work perfectly on my
laptop is no picnic. Until I do, I'm going to keep it as a dual boot :(
