copy files watchout

in linux, if your copy was interrupted, the last file was incomplete. (stop at wherever the copy stopped). you got whatever you copied. you might have a CORRUPTED file!
in windows, if in the same case, the last file disappeared. if it's a 1 GB file and interrupted at 0.99GB. You lost all 0.99GB. (linux keeps your 0.99GB, which is usually okay for images/videos).

ie. better say these are their behaviors than pros/cons.

utils + tools for switching from Windows to Linux

my list here:
webcam on laptop ==> guvcView
chinese input (changjei) ==> ibus, must set locale to taiwan or you type simplified characters
msn ==> pidgin
comic ==> comix
