More FUD.
I've run Ubuntu on fast, modern, dual-monitor systems. It's incredibly snappy. Heck, it's reasonably snappy on my old P4.
Either you misconfigured it, or there's more to the story.
You have to give permission when you install applications -- if you close the installer every time, well, there you go, it's going to keep asking. If you really don't like that, there are ways around it; not recommended, but easily doable.
A day and a half with Ubuntu, most spent setting it up. Versus a lifetime of familiarity with Windows.
