that finding appropriate drivers for some newer peripherals is a lot

I'm not looking for a debate. I'm just curious. I've never had a problem
with drivers, but I'll give you Windows is easier in that regard. Just
pop in the CD and off you go. With Linux, there can be a little
configuring necessary. As for the software, I think that's a little more
to each his own. Personally, I'm a lot more comfortable in the Linux
environment, and find Windows quite frustrating when I have to use it.
