Programs that don't work with Ubuntu go much further than just CAD..

Also, setting up dual displays is anything but easy..

Then use Red Hat. There are CAD programs on it that don't exist in MS-Windblows anything. In fact, Autocad is a toy compared to what is available in Linux. It also scales better. There are also UNIX/Solaris workstations that do the same. Want 64GB of RAM and 2-4 displays, quite easy actually. Multiple display issues is a MS-Windows issue not a Linux issue.

Did you know it is also easy for Linux to have 2 keyboards and assign one each to multiple display so 2 people can use the same computer at the same time and not hammer each other?

At least give people the whole picture..

The whole picture? Simple, MS-Windows is a massive kludge for the masses. Not really good at anything in particular, but makes a general purpose vendor locked PC. It isn't a power workstation by any means. Virtually every technology in MS-Windows is a proprietary bastardization of xNIX and open standards. If you want the cutting edge in performance and computing futures, MS-Windows isn't on the plate.

While Microsoft is in the list, near the bottom and no one takes them seriously as the systems submitted for MS are for posterity as no one actually uses the configuration, but the problems Linux/UNIX gets are real:

Hahahaha.. too funny.. you had to rely on backup. And there was not one single mention of Ubuntu in all or any of that. In fact, there was no mention of any regular desktop operating system.. but you wouldn't know that would you..

Did you read this part?

"Multiple display issues is a MS-Windows issue not a Linux issue."

So it is Microsoft's fault that dual display doesn't work in Linux desktop distros?

Dual display was available for Windows 98!!
