Not really. I found Ubuntu to be a lot more hassle than it was worth. Once I found Cygwin, which lets me do most of the things I liked about Linux under Windows, Linux started looking a lot less appealing to me.

My main problem with Linux is that it takes a long time to fix any given problem. For example, I was trying to get my Sony Clie to sync with Ubuntu, and after hours of altering config files that I didn’t really understand, I was no closer to my goal than I was before. Apparently there’s a bug someplace or another in the new version of the Linux kernel or something.

I like windows. I’m familiar with it, and I’ve learned how to make it look and feel exactly the way I want to.

And, of course, all of the software I like–especially games–is written for Windows. Since I know how to defend myself from spyware and viruses, I really don’t have any motivation to switch.
