Things I can do in Linux that I can't do on Windows
Since I often hear from friends and people on the Internet about things they can't do in Linux that they could on Windows, I thought I'd write up a list of things I can do in Linux that I can't do in Windows.
Update every single piece of software on my system with a single action. This is one of the main reasons I run Linux. Sure, Windows has Windows Update, but that only updates the operating system, Office, and a few other things. For every Linux distribution I've used (Gentoo, Red Hat, Suse, Ubuntu), updating is simple. When you update, you have every application, every library, every script - every single piece of software upgraded automatically for you. And on most of them, they will check for updates automatically and notify you. This is great for security, fixing bugs quickly, and getting the latest in features.
Update nearly everything on my computer without a reboot.

Catch up time! :D
I know I know, this is PC and Linux, but I found this funny anyway.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA~!
That was hilarious!
I couldn't help but read more from that guy. This (http://www.thebestpageintheuniverse.net/c.cgi?u=sony_bullshit) just about made me piss my pants laughing!
Then there was the "rootkit" debacle, where Sony secretly installed hidden bullshit on your computer. One of Sony BMG's presidents handled the situation with the delicacy of a gang rape with this quote: "Most people, I think, don't even know what a rootkit is, so why should they care about it?" Good point, shit-head!
You can't compare PS to Gimp.
-TonyB
Yes you can. The GIMP sucks compared to Photoshop. :)
Folks who use Gimp and use it well probably have no need for Photoshop, and vice-versa.

I would question their productivity though. Back to the free thing... What's your time worth?
Photoshop is just faster to get things done. (I use Paint.Net on 1 machine as well and still, PS is the way to go if you've got the cash.)
I think I'd always keep a Windows machine around, if for no other reason than to piss off the Apple folks.

HAHAHAHAHAHA~!
I'm damn near pissing myself laughing again!
