Call me kooky

Really I do.  There’s a plethora of reasons that have been covered many times before in great detail.  The big one that pisses me off is that it’s too different.  With Ubuntu 7.10 it took me about 10 minutes to figure things out and actually use it.  Five minutes of vista just pissed me off.  It also chews up entirely too much space.  8gb should be enough for a “base” OS but vista eats it all.  The pretty new interface comes across poorly too.  On top of that, my fairly beefy system barely meets with vista’s approval.  Crap crap crap, it’s all crap.
