The smell of newly purchased stuff... So, there I was, Hauppauge WinTV board in hand, Mandrake 10 installed and ready to rock! Little did I expect that it would come to this. But first things first.

I've been using linux primary for the desktop since start of 1997, but *always* kept around a win98/2k/XP for gaming, so I do have real windows experience on decent hardwares.
Now any happy windows users could please explain how it can be used for an effective desktop with the chumpy panels, with the general lag of the start menu, with applications being able to freeze the whole desktop for *seconds*, with icons flashing every 1-2 hours showing that the graphics shell has died and got reloaded, without a decent default browser, without built-in virtual desktops, with a total braindead window manager, without task manager actually being able to kill tasks even if they dont want to die, etc.
These are so hilarious, I really wonder how people actually claim being satisfied with a windows desktop. We're not in the mid-90's anymore, time to wake up and open the eyes.
