This is pasted from my blog:
---------------------------------------------
I finally had enough. Yesterday I tried to do a trivial sort of a list
that is part of a larger LaTeX document. Well, it turned out that I
can’t unless I pipe the list (and only the list) to sort, or I fire up
a full-blown spreadsheed like Gnumeric or KSpread and re-type the whole
list.
This is frustrating, disturbing, and innecessary. How did I got myself
into messes such as this one? Well, I had to recognize that most of
these annoyances are directly tied to my choice of operating systems;
and thus, I made a decision. I had enough.
Tomorrow, as soon as I can find a free slot in my office, I’m going to
repartition my hard disk. After a thorough backup, I’ll try Windows XP
SP 2 as my only operating system on this machine.
I’m tired of the fiddling. I need something that just works.

Before I became a Christian I do not think I fully realised that one's
life, after conversion, would inevitably consist in doing most of the
same things one had been doing before, one hopes, in a new spirit, but
still the same things.
