No. The only time I have trouble is with the videos on MSN.COM. then you 
can use Chromium. This is bad advice but you could try installing 
IcedTea with Java. But I haven't needed to use it in a long time a 
year+. I am 68 so a year could be 2 or 5. The only thing I use my 
windows 7 PC for most is to print 4 pictures on a piece of paper mostly. 
I can(maybe like if I was capable I could do more with Ubuntu. Just my 
thinking of being around computers for 60 years. My Dad and I both 
worked for IBM and he would have me helping him with them went I was 8 
he told me me what to look for and tell him the read outs on the 
oscilloscope so he would have to walk so much their were big back then. 
With Ubuntu base OS I have very little trouble with then until I start 
try to make it better.
