There are things about the current Ubuntu I'm not very fond of myself, 
and I usually take opportunity to gripe bout them from time to time.  
But this is just nonsense.  You have older computers or systems that 
need to work without accelerated 3D video, install Lubunut/Xubuntu and 
be happy.  and not support development tools? Where the *censored* does 
that come from?


And as for Windows 7, somewhere in the network settings, Windows offers 
you a chance to turn off Homegroups and use traditional windows 
networking.  You'll probably find that works better.
