+In some ways MS is more annnoying than Linux can ever be. For example when i
+install any version of Windows on my Desktop Computer (except win7) i have
+no network drivers installed. Ok for this computer i have a disc where the
+driver is on it. I own an old one without driver disc's and find out how the
+network card is called even you have no working network, this task can be
+annoying on windows. On linux it is not soo difficult (a little research on
+the internet on another machine works, every program needed to figure out
+the network card is included normally, on windows you have to install
+special software only needed for one single task)
