Windows vs Linux

Things on Win that I want on Lin:
(1) My text editor, Notepad++ !!! In fact, Notepad++ worked well with Wine in Lin, but installing Wine and making it working is really really laborious! :(

(2) A good display driver. Although my VGA chipset in an Intel one, integrated on mainboard, but it seems that the even most suitable driver for it on Lin cannot make the display as smooth as it is on Win. It is really annoyed to wait seconds for your mouse and keyboard to response, although the whole system is not that sluggy.

(3) Office: MS Office deserves its 1st place. Open Office cannot deal with Vietnamese keyboard well. Besides, I cannot imagine a life without Office 2007... ^_^

Things that make Lin the choice

(1) Terminal: colorful and highly customizable prompt. It is 'catastrophe' when you run a job and forget the time you executed it. No way to know how long it's been run. That's the situation I've been always trapped in by Win >:<

(2) Power: In Lin, I can run a big task while surfing the internet to wait for it to complete. But in Win, no way! Just go for a sleep. Win has made my system a mighty machine for such a long time!!! >:<

(3) Real speed. People are not exaggerating saying Linux inherits the powerful architecture of Unix framework. Although my work is slowed down by the VGA chipset issue, Linux is still considerably faster than Win when it comes to background processing tasks.
