Over the past couple of months, and especially over the past couple of weeks, I've been working very hard to write and complete my thesis. I performed all the work on Windows 7, but now that the thesis is finally done, submitted, and accepted, I installed Ubuntu - and immediately I was reminded of why I do not do any serious work on Linux: the train wreck that is X.org.

Incredible! I wich I could do a Thesis on how Windows is great and then flame Linux...
Anyway, as some mentionned, this is ridiculous. What have you or the auto-magical scripts done to your xorg.conf. Really I NEVER experienced this kind of crash in 10 years! Also, you forgot to mention all the incredible power of X that still not work on Windows system ... display export etc... Also as mentionned, two things lacks the development of Xorg: man power and true drivers/hardware specifications from vendors and THEN, yes THEN we can compare. I did have incredible crash on Windows ** versions that just suddenly happens for no reason. You know the "Blue screen of Death". Even looking at the so called event logs gives me nothing.
Sounds like another Microsoft paid guy explain how cool is Windows. Sad to hear.
