I still see many cfl's that burn up quickly (1-2 years - though they use electronic balast, they still have filaments for preheating which give up) and/or have that white-blueish light that is _very_ annoying. Those with white-yellowish light need still hunting, if you are lucky you can find a demo stand.
In Linux because I am familiar with it, has the tools I need, does not require antivirus and spyware protections and does not require unplanned reboots except when the nvidia driver goes south (rare, but it does). And I can choose a minimal window manager that both looks good and does not eat much memory for itself.
But for most people Windows is the familiar platform, even if you have to install extra ram to compensate for the mandatory av and spyware protections.

Regedit this, reboot, done, no need to complain to the entire world. Any sysadmin should be able to give you the solution.
