To be honest, my SSDs run a lot faster within Windows 8 than they did in 
Ubuntu or Ubuntu GNOME. It shouldn't be the case as SSDs don't require 
any kind of special software to do their thing but reading and writing 
was significantly slower in the open-source operating system than in 
Windows. It's truly sad. Add to that the fact that the GPU ran terribly 
and that the sound card had random pops and cracks and you really have 
to call a spade a spade and say that GNU/Linux is shit.

Still, I'd love to see how 7 _PROVES_ that whatever he says is a fact. I 
have yet to see any kind of evidence in any of his posts. It's just 
random garbage.
