Comment 352 for bug 1

The difference between windows and linux is, that windows simply works, whereas for linux you need a degree in software enginnering to get it to run right. I'm using Linux for 10 years now, and things haven't improved much. I installed the kubuntu 7.04 and guess what, blank screen on boot. Easy fix? Sure you boot in console mode, edit a few config files, download a few drivers and packages, compile everything, read a few forums and eventually you get it to work.
