A week of Windows

 We see dozens of 'Migrating from Windows to Linux' stories that talk
about features Windows users miss when they switch, but we rarely see
articles about moving from Linux to Windows, and what kind of pain that
can cause. I hadn't used Windows for more than an hour or two at a time
since 1998, so I decided I was as qualified as anyone else to write about
moving from desktop Linux to desktop Windows. I have now used Windows for
an entire week. This story marks the end of that week, and I'm glad it's
over.

........
Four awful hours with Microsoft Internet Explorer
.........
Those Microsoft people need to get on the stick with Explorer. This lack
of tabbed browsing is simply not acceptable. There is no good excuse in
this day and age for distributing a browser that doesn't have this fine
feature. Explorer simply won't be ready for the desktop until it has it.
..........

..........
 My heart goes out to Windows, Outlook, and Explorer users all over the
world, and I would like all Linux users to please start showing our poor,
Microsoft-locked friends and coworkers as much sympathy as possible.

Lord knows, they deserve it.
