Tabbed browsing has only just made its way into IE because every other browser does it.
I too remember that feeling of “why didn’t I try this before”, when I tried ubuntu7.10, the fact that it supported my hardware helped.
Using Debian in the console these days, i i’ve (pro/re)gressed since then ;)

Its ridiclious that Windows has been put on such a high pedestal, when its doing things now that Linux and even Mac have been doing for so long, but never quite get them just as right. UAC for example, an attempt at forming something like gksudo, just didn’t work. Everyone hated it. Sudo however, makes sense. Linux trusts that you know what you’re doing, unless you tell it you don’t.

Its just mind boggling that Microsoft have been getting away with it for so long :S

I don’t try and get my friends on linux very much these days. Mostly because a lot of them play windows-only games or are just too much of a ‘power user’ to switch. Although I very much respect people who evangelise the OS, I’m quite happy to quietly run my Arch and Ubuntu systems and let other people get on with their computing lives.

That said, I have managed to get a few of my friends to at least try Linux, but they have to be people who use their computers for things that Linux is good at.
