Oh, operating systems!

For a long time I have defaulted to Windows merely because it can do Netflix and Steam. But tonight it finally was stymied by trying to install the Scrivener beta -- which Ubuntu managed just fine. Productivity, or watching TV while knitting lace? Productivity, or watching TV while knitting lace? (Yeah, it only takes a minute to reboot, but I like having nine billion tabs open!)

There are advantages to both, obviously, but the experience reminded me just how much I prefer Ubuntu's user interface.

Ah -- apparently Netflix is going to switch to something a little more Linux-friendly than Silverlight? That would make me a happy person indeed.
