Ironically, this is exactly the reason I have never succeeded in 
using the Windows for daily work. Amount of manual configuration 
and subverting the defaults needed to make it actually usable for 
my programming flow is outstanding. In the same time on my Linux 
distro it is mostly `pacman -Sy gnome gnome-extra xorg-server 
nvidia dlang vim git` and I am ready to work on a fresh install.
