What do you think about PCLINUXOS? It is the codec issue that i find troublesome. As for Windows, it actually can be made more user friendly than it is. For instance, I use AutoHotKey which enables me to write scripts to launch individual or multiple applications at once, or access Windows components. Window key and F1 launches my 2 main Bible programs, and Thunderbird, OpenOffice. and Firefox. I could put them in the Start up folder but this is better. Windows key and U launches the Uninstall programs (appwiz.cpl) while many more such can be done with the Run command (who knows about running dxdiag ?)
What Linux needs is a better Control Center.
I haven’t tried the PCLINUXOS yet. But you have provoked my interest :-) Did you know there is an open source project that allows you to run windows programs on “ix” OS. I guess its just a shell of some sort.
I’ve never tried it as im pretty busy guy, but here is a link if you care to try it out.
There is also an opensource Windows rip-off (xp/2003). Same story, haven’t tried it yet but here is some info.

I use Windows 7 64-bit and I’m wondering if AutoHotkey will work without any problems. Could you or anyone tell me?
