Flutterby™! : "...back on Linux because it works..."

Branko's Brain Dump: On the state of Windows on the desktop. In which a Linux user tries to install and use Windows.

It quickly become apparent that Windows has no package management to speak of. I had to actually go directly to software vendors' websites and manually download, unpack, and install software. In some cases, the packages would come as a RAR file, and there was no unrar to extract the files with. The worst thing though, is that Widows wanted me to reboot it every time I installed something new.
