While OSX is probably easier to use still, I've been using Ubuntu on the desktop since 2005, and every time I have to do something on Win8 I cry in desparation.

While OSX is probably easier to use still, I've been using Ubuntu on the desktop since 2005, and every time I have to do something on Win8 I cry in desparation. Win7 was frustrating, but workable. Win8.1 is a horrible mess, as was Win8 before it; The Metro/Old dichotomy is intellectually painful, distracting, and damaging to any sane workflow.
