man, there's this nasty bug floating around in the windows GIMP... it sometimes freezes when i'm working... i'm the kind of person who just stay focused without saving.. now i need to curse myself "apply and save, apply and save" <_<
dude, linux can run like every windows program with wine.... photoshop and other stuff too, o well if u know how to compile u get gimp releases when they first come out, no need to wait for installers
