Recently I figured I can't stand a look of Windows. Once you start to surf the bleeding edge of software, you just don't see downshifting as an option. "The surfing", however, requires some courage... and skills. You _will_ experience setbacks and bugs. Bugs that nobody has experienced before. You won't be able to just run a quick Google or Ubuntuforums search and have your problem resolved in mere seconds. And at that point, your ability - and desire - to take the matter into your own hands and turn all wrongs into rights will automatically make you one of these who define the progress of humankind.
