All OS's have their share of bugs. They're all created by rather fallible 
creatures ....... Humans. Also people have likes and dislikes and oft like 
to hate things. Seems you may be in the last cat there. That it doesn't 
live up to your expectations isn't gonna kill it. Some people just set 
their expectations way too high. They're the ones who are seldom 
happy with things. I for one have far less hassles with Ubuntu (Linux in 
general) than with Windows and I've been with Windows since the 
win3.1 incarnation. The other prob oft seen is people jumping in and 
not knowing what they're doing and then blaming everything but their 
selves . My own brother is like that. Everything should be this or that 
way. He has a picture in his mind of a perfect world. He constantly 
needs reminding that the perfect world is the minds fiction. It just does 
not exist

Re the FBI looking at open source software it atually says "open source 
webpages" which covers more than just the software. Likely they see 
open source as a way of smuggling illegal softwares and such or 
possibly looking at forcing compliance with certain legislations to cut 
down on pirating. That letter really gives nothing away so any 
conclusion from it is pure speculation
