Thanks to Linux, I am forced to take breaks. Whenever I open a multi-page pdf file, it hangs into a runaway process and I am forced to reboot my computer and re-download the pdf. Windows is so boring, I simply double click on that file and it opens up without any fuss. I also find my Linux hanging when I open Firefox, OO and Thunderbird together. Windows just does not listen and opens them up side by side.
Do you file bugs on these packages for your distribution?
I never had this problem in windows. I used an interactive firewall. In linux I cannot control what goes out of my system. The firewall works one way only.
I think this is totally wrong. You can block outgoing packets, but I don't know much about this. Someone correct me if I am wrong.
The bottom line is that windows and linux have their set of problems, so bashing Windows does not solve Linux problems.
Amen to that. Also, one solution which works for me is not necessarily good for you, and vice versa.
