Coming from a Linux background, one thing that always was annoying about attempting to install a Windows system was the subsequent driver hunt. However, when I tried Windows 7 out recently, I was highly impressed how much hardware actually worked with just the install. In my case it was every piece of hardware that was on the computer. I also noticed Microsoft being greatly more conservatory on memory than over Vista. I was actually thinking I might leave this one computer with a Windows OS installed on it.

Later on, I was installing openVPN client on the computer, I get the warning that the driver for the virtual device is not signed. With no doubts about openVPN, I select the option to install anyway. This is when Windows tells me that I am not allowed to install unsigned drivers on my own computer. What nerve, some group of engineers at Microsoft think they can decide what I can or cannot install on my computer. I had to forge a driver-signature, hack Windows 7 to temporarily think it was in BETA mode, install the forged driver, then hack the system back to full release.

This is the reason that I prefer Linux system. It is a symbol of freedom. It allows the owner of the computer to truly control their own computer; a statement that no Windows or Mac user can say.
