It took me hours of research to do a simple down/up in Windows -- something that took me 30 seconds of research in Linux.
And you yourself illustrate all the odd and very long things you have to do in Windows to do a simple down/up of the NIC, and to get it to work correctly.
While in Linux, I can just do "sudo ifdown eth0"
All in all, I prefer the 30 second way, versus the five hour way.
By your very use of evidence, you proved my point. Cool.
You're still claiming that it took you hours of research to do in windows without acknowledging that you're using an ancient version and that it is a one line command in current versions.
I could counter that in the scope of all possible operating systems there's no reason disabling a network adapter should be a simple thing and that you're picking on it because you considered it an easy thing in Linux' favour.
I could counter how much better it is to type "tracert" on windows than "traceroute" on linux, or that windows PPTP setup wizard blows Linux out of the water, or that there are uncountable things I've spent hours reaearching on bob platforms because they aren't as simple as I want them to be.
Or I could say "yoruban wax potato parachute"; I suspect any of the preceeding would result in further argument about how I'm proving your point.
I set out to counter your claim that x is too difficult in windows, but this further back and forth - it's not going anywhere, is it?

But didn't know about DevCon. Thanks.
