Us Windoze users are lazy by nature. Going back to disparate DOS-like coding sends our little brains packing. Anything integrated into nice colorful cartoons/GUI interface will make our lives easier. I've actually just used Linux on and off because Windoze is so much more convient. This is the main problem with Linux, it's not packaged for lazy folks like me. Yeah, Rarst.

I’ve actually just used Linux on and off because Windoze is so much more convient. This is the main problem with Linux, it’s not packaged for lazy folks like me.

Because wubi was working with version 7 pretty fine for a long time. :) They just decided to bundle it instead of being separate application.

It might not fit in your schedule but a multipart article involving the new Ubuntu 8 and installation/setup/thoughts with your new rig might be a great series... Keep up the great work...

But i gotta warn you: Because you're so into new, helpful tools, making things easier and so, - you won't switch back. Just one example: Your "Software Update..." Articles. If you install Software from repositorys in Linux, there's no need for manually updating all your programs. It's like Windows-AU would search and update all your favorite Programs, you will never see that happen, but it's true in Linux. Congratulations to your “switching-decision”- Seriously!
