We fix windows all the time, but
there's very little to fix, really.
I wanted to switch to Ubuntu because I really hate DRM, and I hated
that Microsoft built DRM into Vista. I also think Microsoft charges
way too much for the OS. I did not need to switch because Windows
wasn't working ... Windows worked just fine.
But I couldn't switch, as I already posted. The drivers I need do not
exist for Ubuntu.
And I can get involved and waste an awful lot of time trying to learn
more about Ubuntu while the manufacturers of various devices sit on
their hands and don't write Linux drivers.
