I have a real love/hate relationship with computers and especially with Windows.
When it works it is fine, not brilliant but usable but when it decides to throw a tantrum then I find myself throwing one as well. Windows has a real knack of winding me up big time.
Today I ran an update of my security software on my lap top which I recently was given by my daughter. Unknown to me she had two virus checkers on it and the update to the one I throught was live turned it on and then there was a battle between the two that locked up my computer after about 5 mins of use!
Try as I might I could not stop it and so after much frustration I loaded Ubuntu onto it.
It's an older version of Ubuntu but it recognized this and is currently updating to the latest version. No tantrums or jumping through hoops as with Windows, it simply worked.
I am now looking forward to getting reacquainted with Ubuntu.
