Bump to mark. I don't want to have to code to make these things work.

That was fun when I was younger, now I just want it to work. If I can do that then I'll dump MS so fast.

That rings true with me nowadays, too.

I used to consider it a badge of honor to be the lone freak running Linux in the office.

I used to think people that couldn't code shouldn't be allowed to work on a puter, thus avoiding ignoramus tech support calls.

Now I really don't care! Oh how the mighty fall!

Ubuntu is really darn close, it is set up to update not only all packages, but update major releases of Ubuntu itself. There are still glitches, but nothing the power user can't get around. I'm thinking only about three years to parity with Microsoft across the board. And no licensing headaches, much less the cost.
