Hi my names Ian, i think Linux is bril, only taken me 8 years to get on my PC.
I have Mint 9, wow its better then any thing from windcrap and Ubuntu 10.04 thats so cool also.
I still use Windcrap to play my blurays when linux gets round to having software that you can play bluray i will never need to use 7 as much as i do now.

kentboylinux,

you do not get any brownie points by referring to "Windows" as "Wincrap". It is extremely childish.

Nah, I don't hate Windows, I just dislike it's mostly closed-source nature...and the fact that you have to pay for it .

when linux gets round to having software that you can play bluray...
Surely people, even those that really depend on the windows OS, have options as well..
I don't know, is it that much of a problem, since may people might already have the Xbox or the Sony Playstation that could play a blu-ray disk, or possibly a regular blue-ray video player or the combo blu-ray +DVD..
