You seem like a Linux Novice that had troubles figuring it all out and just claim Linux sucks because it was frustrating.

At work Windows annoys the piss out of me how limiting and slow it is, Luckily I finally got approval for a Linux Install on my workstation and it's been great ever since.

At home I have been using Linux for just about a decade. I've dual booted until about 4 years ago.

I've Got CoD4 running alright, currently WoW on Linux with my hardware runs better than the same machine in windows, better frame rate, faster load times.

Granted I'm very familiar with Linux, so I can fix many of the speed bumps that people have. Not saying every thing is nice for example ATI needs to get on the ball with the drivers, for some reason they can't seem to fix graphical glitches and such.

This is what I think Windows needs to get me back.

• Get a filesystem that doesn't suck. Why is it so slow?
• Reduce the fluff that requires an operating system to use over a gig of ram at Idle.
• Create a Registry system that doesn't cause the system to gradually slow over a period of time.
• Improved security that doesn't impede the user.
• Better applications from an OS you have to pay for, for the price of the Ultimate edition you should be able to get a real text editor
