I've spent far to much time fiddling to make computer stuff work, and I finally settled on Ubuntu because it "just worked".

Music applications (BiaB, Reaper, GPO) pretty much forced me back to Windows. I suspect that I could have fiddled with stuff and gotten things to work, but there's no joy in that. I've got enough trouble getting things working even under the best conditions.

I've still got the dual boot option on my machine that I use on occasion, when a Linux app works better than a Windows one.

My girls switched from Ubuntu to Windows last month so they could play Minecraft. On the other hand, my oldest son installed it as a dual-boot option when the TCP/IP stack in Windows mysteriously failed. (He finally got to repairing it the other night).

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?
