First off, yes it's my first late post

Unfortunately, events this morning conspired against my posting of the midweek update. The update, as it is, isn't an awful lot though: I'm getting sick of Ubuntu. Yes, that's it, just getting sick of the way it can't connect to the college network, sick of the fact that it crashes even more regularly then windows ever did, sick of the way it handles multiple monitors, sick of the fact that my bluetooth mouse works even worse than it did on Windows, sick of my inability to solve all these issues. Sick of Ubuntu.

I know there are good things about Linux, and particularly Ubuntu, and I know there are people who get by fine with linux as their main OS all the time, but there are too many things that it simply can't do. I've done some limited research on the college network issue and it's gotten me nowhere. Similarly, I haven't been able to find any way around the horrible multi-monitor support. 

So what is it, exactly, that's better about Linux than Windows? Why do people love their Linux boxes so much? I've no doubt that there are some important stuff that techie folk want to do that Linux allows easier access too, but isn't Microsoft still better? Right now the answer is a resounding yes, and if Windows Seven is anything like it promises to be that yes will just resonate all the more. 

I fully intend to stick with Ubuntu for the promised month, but I find myself more and more wishing that I didn't agree to. I just want back to Windows...
