That's it, I'm done.

penkI'm done with Linux. I'm done with this whole alternate BS approach to computing. I don't know why I've fought it for so long, because all it does is cause me grief, despair, and lost time.
I seriously don't know why it took me this long to give up. Every major diversion I've been sucked into has been dealing with "Linux doesn't do that" or "If you were running Windows this wouldn't be a problem."
So, fuck it. I'm ditching Linux, and going Vista as my primary desktop and satellite machine hosts. I'm replacing my MythTV host with a Windows Media Center, and I'm looking at reconfiguring boomer to be a Win2003 Server. We've already ported CONGO to Windows, all the stuff I've been doing works fine under Windows, I'm just throwing in the towel.
I encourage others who have been fighting this trend to follow my example. It doesn't make sense to have to deal with ridiculous complexities and half completed software just to read your email, when one company provides a perfectly stable, supported, commercial set of tools.
Join me as I jump down the rabbithole.
