Linux, Windows and more little things

I wanted to get the last post before this one to clarify the importance of those little things, because those little details are the ones who has made me return to Windows back from my Linux Experiment. This are this little things:

- Power support: I have both the advantage and disadvantage of having an HP tablet PC, this computer due to heating issues can never go to it's highest speed 'cause it gets really hot and shuts down (and most likely it is damaging the internal parts in the long effect). To get over it I have to be rally careful regarding the Power management issues and in Linux I have to keep looking for the computer to keep the processing speed to the minimum on a regular basis 'cause I had some times the problem I configured the processor to use minimum resources and from one moment to another it just got to use maximum power resources.

- Flash player in Linux Sucks: Nothing more to add.

- OpenOffice can't read completely accurately any doc, docx, xls, xlsx file and Office 2010 can read any odt file without problem. On the other hand the user interface needs to get updated to a different more simplified way.

- User Interface: It has some nice effects, Compiz is way better than Aero but windows right now has a better overall look and feel than Gnome which i think still need to be a little more polished, though it is better looking than the traditional Windows 9X look and feel it doesn't heightens to the current Windows L&F

- OneNote support: I have all my university notes in OneNote, I think it is a really good way to take notes, specially with a TabletPC and I haven't found the suitable replacement. I know there exists Wikidpad and Zim but they can't read my previos OneNote notebooks but I can't blame the other applications but I also have to blame a little bit Microsoft on that one, 'cause it is most likely that the restriction is due to Microsoft having it as a closed format unable to be read from other sources.

There are really amazing things I have to recognize to Linux:

- The Ubuntu Software library is really amazing, though it shows just a tiny little bit of the open source software there must exist.

- Compiz is really amazing

- It can do a lot of stuff with minimum resources (despite the weird way it handles the system speed) and it doesn't seem to get slugish as sometimes you feel a Windows machine feels.

I still have to give it another shot when I get more time 'cause I'm still a believer that it is a great alternative for those people who don't want to spend much money in their software (I say not much instead of free 'cause i profoundly believe you should pay for the job a person does).
