I just might do that.. actually, I am moving back to Windows. After a long time of running with Linux, and although I still see it as better than Windows, I'm still going to change. Why? I'm not really sure.. Both have their advantages, but no matter how much I like Linux and despise Microsoft's Windows, I'm still in need for yet another change.

I'm currently backing up everything I want to keep on another computer, including every modification files I created for Linux (might switch back one day, knowing myself it'll probably happen eventually), so I can simply transfer back my stuff after formatting my laptop and restoring my old XP backup, which hopefully will also reinstall HP Quickplay as it was probably the best feature of my good ol' Linux free laptop.

Ya know, I'm probably one of the best person for doing impulsive things of the moment, such as the big 25 gallon aquarium I bought, fully equipped for freshwater fish, while 2 days later I wonder why the hell I bought that as I already don't feel like taking care of fish anymore, although I had yet to even have any fish in there, which I quickly remedy to this weekend by adding two Dwarf Gourami fish. Anyway, switching back to XP is sort of an impulse of the moment. "Hey, maybe I can connect better to the media center on my X360 if I have XP and use Windows Media Center instead of third party servers that are half working under Linux, yeah that'd be cool, and I could install the PC games I have but probably will never play too" BOOM I'm switching right there.

Compatibility sure was an issue with Linux, but so it is with Windows anyway. I use OGG as my primary, and only, file extension for my music. Now, OGG is probably the last extension used by Windows users or by Windows itself in terms of music.. great, gotta switch everything back to MP3 for better compatibility results which will take a while considering the thousands and thousands of songs I have on my laptop. But still, compatibility, game wise and application wise, is easier on Windows, especially now that I have an X360 although it doesn't read half of the AVI video files I have.

Guess I'm just sick of having 2 seperate partitions for each operating systems I use. I'm going to miss how customizable Linux was compared to Windows though.. and the terminal as well, with all the command lines and everything, it gave me the feeling I was actually controlling the computer and doing everything by myself, while in Windows, I can barely customize anything (legally, that is) and everything does what you want by itself, leaving you to do nothing but wait while it's being done.

Reading this makes me wonder even more why exactly I am switching lol. Guess I just need a change :]
