i like xp, it crashes less than 2k did. can't remember the last time it crashed actually, wow freezes occasionally, but that's easily solvable without a reboot. i don't have to run an emulator to use photoshop or maya and i don't have to reboot if i feel like playing a game, i won't be switching to linux any time soon.…
[ QUOTE ] The games I like to play run just fine on Linux, but you are right, some do not run. Concerning 'working' applications, well Maya, XSI, Lightwave (not 100% sure about the last) and a bunch of others run nativly on Linux, just Max doesn't (yet). Photoshop runs fine with Wine or crossover-office as far as I know,…
Maya is running natively on Linux, there is no need to use wine. And there are plenty of games that do too, so that you don't have to reboot into windows, which is what I was saying.

@ Isis: Dunno what happend to that screenshot, but it certainly doesn't look that huge on my PC. Try setting your XP to 640x480 and it will look the same @ oXYnary: The games I like to play run just fine on Linux, but you are right, some do not run.

Hey noone is forcing you to switch (and sorry if my original post sounded different), and I can perfectly understand that in special cases (by that I mean you oXYnary) it is just not yet a good idea to switch to Linux. (and learn resistant people can stay with windows too, thank you very much ) I am just saying that in my…
[ QUOTE ] @Marine and Weiser_Cain: That is exactly what I ment, long time Windows user 'excuse' the faults windows has, because they got used to them, and know how to work around them (to quote: "but that's easily solvable without a reboot") . But the reality is that a modern OS should not behave like that EVER, seriously.…
