But, does it mean Windows is still the best OS around, especially for power users? I'm going to cumulate my Windows XP frustrations and tell you about the top 10 reasons why I decided to dump Windows and use GNU/Linux as my primary desktop OS."

You do realise that if you open up the said dvd with Videolan, its then just a matter of choosing to output to a file on you hard disk, then it is just a matter of encoding it into a file format you want using an encoder of your choice; Mplayer would do the trick quite nicely.
I'll give it a shot and see how it goes. I recently installed mplayer and have been very impressed with it.
In time I think it will reach the point where I do not need windows at all, but right now there are still quite a few things that just seem 'easier' with windows, or maybe its just that I'm more familiar with them on XP.
