There are a shit ton of features in it. It's worth getting used to a new system.

@OP
I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re refering to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called “Linuxâ€, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.
There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called “Linux†distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

No it really isn't; you just underwent desensitization. Being burned only hurts for the first few minutes but that does not mean it stops being a "bad thing".
That fuzzy shit could cause real lasting damage. Holy shit those fonts are bad.

Got used to the UI, out of the box it's pretty much allright.
Youtube HTML5 working like a charm too (cba to install flash but wanna listen to some music)... no problems so far with anything...
