Question Nº 1: How many times a day do you change switching duplex of
the ethernet card on boot?

Question Nº 2: Where's the "simple control panel" on M$? I know of the
Control Panel, but I can't say is "Simple"...

And I agree that YaST is almost complete as CP, but of course, coming
from M$ experiences, is different... you need some time to explore it
and adapt to it... 

what happened when you switched cars? do you expect your new car to
have the same exact functionalities in the same exact places as the old
one? Then, why switch car at all? buy the same exact model as the new
one... (if you can find it) and try to convince the Registration Office
to keep your license plate, so you don't even have to memorize the new
license.
