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.

I have lost so much data with Vista crashes, I find your posts on the matter laughable.
I'm writing this on my FreeBSD laptop since my Vista workstation told me it needed to run a chkdsk on my C drive. It's been running for over 30 minutes now and throwing "Recovering orphaned file" messages left and right.
Even in those few times that I have had X crash (and I can't remember the last time it happened) I never actually lost data and had filesystem corruption.
