The first point is an entirely other argument that can be interpretted and spun in many ways.

The second is ignorance on your part because it has happened to myself, a friend, and likely countless others.  When xorg specifically fails, you will get a screen asking to reconfigure however when HAL daemon breaks causing xorg to fail then you will not.

If you tell me that those errors were with the open drivers I'll concede.

The thing is, even when I was using the proprietary drivers and xorg crashed, I was able to fix it with a little google and command line.  In Windows, I would have been sunk.

Also, whenever I fix something in Linux it is a learning experience.  Now, I know what to do to prevent those proprietary drivers from crashing.  Linux means more control to the user.
