No doubt every case is different, so there's no contradiction here. If it's efficient for you, great. Ubuntu wasn't worth it for me. The UI is fine, but there's too much that just doesn't work, or works poorly, and I'm not going to do the research involved to overcome these things. I don't really believe Microsoft is going to do a linux as a consumer-grade replacement for Windows, but if it did, I suspect the issues I have would go away. Hardware vendors would write drivers, missing software pieces would be filled in, etc. [Edit: I committed the cardinal sin - or is it a common convention? - of commenting on an article before reading it. A mistake in this case - I realise now the article is just silly speculative hand-waving]
