I see what you mean
Yeah, the install was really smooth. It seems to work nicely with all my hardware.
But it's clear that Windows does a lot more of the heavy lifting than Ubuntu is willing to do. I guess I've gotten lazy...I kinda like an OS that actually does a bunch of the work rather than one that hands me the tools and tells me it'll be back later. And even just a few days with Linux is enough to greatly re-inforce the fact that we live in a Windows-centric world.
