Minecraft for windows and linux tested

After testing Minecraft 1.8 on Ubuntu and going back to the windows version of Minecraft, as well as updating my graphics driver as Kumasasa suggested. I have concluded that the windows version is having some issues with the code. When I ran the Linux version on 1.8, the game never crashed at all and i was playing it for the past couple of hours since about 6:55AM Eastern Standard Time. The Linux version ran so smooth that I couldn't even believe my 7 year old laptop was running it. The Use VBOs option on windows does seem to be having an issue on the windows version plus I can tell with all of the other reports that there are some other issues. Thank you Mojang for the awesome update and I hope there will be a resolution to the issues soon.
