Arrgh! give me good ol'e WinXP any day.

Can't get Linux to work with the wi-fi card in my computer, and i won't accept an OS that can neither connect to the internet nor work with youtube. got to have my online TV.

I'm amazed to this day how linux is purely for experts. there's no such thing as a simple executable file (*.EXE) nor an installer to ease installation of any programs you want to use with it.
Oh contraire. You can easily add the plugins from any website. If you really want to simplify the plugins you just install easyLife. Once installed the PC will do everything Windows will do plus. Everything I post is through Linux. See the easyLife project here
easyLife | Fedora software management tool

When you have a problem you can trouble shoot and repair unlike MS products where you have to start from square one. Not knocking Bill Gates though. Without him where would the computer industry be?
No kidding? I've always heard that there are tons of compatibility issues for devices and software, but I haven't kept up with Linux news/updates since 2003-2004 or so.

I had the awesome task of testing out this cute program, Hexon Exon. It did the same thing, using a cipher names of censorship-promoting politicians of the time, for naughty word bits.
