Typical fanboy comment. You twits simply can't be objective. One

reason I LOVE to make fun of you clods. It's so easy. Is Ubuntu the

right choice for everyone? Hell no! Neither is Vista. That's the point

that sails far over the heads of the Microsoft faithful.

 

It is really a matter of degree. Judging by the simplistic bunch that

hang out here Ubuntu is clearly a good alternative if all you are

doing is surfing the web, email, some rudimentary tasks. Clearly Vista

can do that too. Which is after all the point. Why spends hundreds of

dollars for Vista if Ubuntu can fill your needs?

 

For the rest of us stuck with Vista my main gripe is you rather than

getting the promised WOW, your first impression is blah. Aero, for all

the hype Microsoft gave it is a huge disappointment. Just eye candy

fluff. Poke below the surface and you can't even tweak it in any

useful way. If you try, you're stuck falling back to Classic themes

which don't support Vista.

 

Yes, Vista's Search abilities have been improved, once you understand

how to use them, but again Microsoft fell flat on their face in the

implementation... a common theme often repeated.

 

What should be rock solid in a operating system around for over twenty

years, the all important shell, still sucks and often will give you

the moronic Explorer encountered a problem and needs to close message.

File copying for many is painfully slow compared to XP. IE7 is bug

riddled and still falls easy prey to hackers and script kiddies.

 

What should be Microsoft strength, how it handles multimedia is awful.

The included Media Player often sputters, stalls, refuses to play

industry standard file types. Burning a CD or DVD can causes playback

issues on earlier versions of Windows. Images imported from cameras

can end up getting corrupted. The still crude Disk Management and

Defragmenter tools are at least ten years beyond third party

alternatives. The included Paint, a mere toy incapable of doing

anything beyond the most basic tasks.

 

Windows Explorer may still refuse to remember how you told it to sort

files. Windows resize and reset their location on your desktop. You

icons placed on your desktop can get totally rearranged if you change

resolution or suffer certain types of system crashes.

 

I could go on, but I already made my point. Vista isn't polished. Many

would say it still behaves like a Beta. UAC is an insult to your

intelligence and most quickly turn it off.

 

The bottom line is Ubuntu is a labor of love. Just a bunch of people

working together to offer something that performs quite well and is

offered free. Vista was produced by the world's largest software

developer that supposedly has some of the best talent on the planet.

They demand hundreds of dollars per copy, refuse to listen to customer

suggestions on how to improve it, won't supply help unless you pay for

it and expect their customers to act as unpaid beta testers and never

have been able to release a stable version of Windows until after at

least one Service Pack has patched it's many flaws.

 

Anyone OBJECTIVELY looking at Vista at best gives it a mediocre

rating. Anyone ranking it higher simply doesn't have a clue what

they're talking about.

It's really not the best place to be asking for opinions on reviews.

Maybe you can newgroup a group for this kind of discussion.

Re: Vista Vs. Ubuntu ; The Reviews

 

Now, the question is why do so many (in the millions world wide?) prefer to

run pirated XP/Vista (almost free or free) versus legally free Ubuntu?

Please don't bother answering along the line 'XP/Vista users are stupid' etc

:)

Frank needs to replace you as his lap dog. All you're doing is taking

posts I wrote about him and changing a few words around. What a loser.

I've come across all kinds of fools, idiots and flat out clowns in

various newsgroups but never any so damn dumb and lazy they have to

steal other people's posts on a regular basis and put their name on

them. Pathetic!

Vista Works BETTER for me...you clod.

What you think matters not one iota.

None.

You are a loon.

You think you will convince me otherwise ?

Think again.

Then fail again.

The TRUTH really bugs you doesn't it Frank. Nothing insulting about

pointing out clueless Rubes like you are fans of Microsoft and

The clod is you since you were unable to counter a single point I

made. I wasn't trying to convince you of anything. I already wrote you

off as a hopeless buffoon. You embarrassed me? Keep dreaming. That

will at least give you something to cling to.

Maybe you should cling to that tiny excuse of a noodle you call a dick. I

think you need to continue drinking because you are very annoying today.

Well, you are annoying every day so what's the difference.

{

- Possibly because they don't KNOW that Ubuntu is out there on the

net, that it's a solid " little " OS which can do a large number of

things very well..

 

Write documents, do spread sheets, surf the web, burn CD's Play

videos,

run Google Earth, do Photoshop" type things with GIMP.

 

-read in pictures from Digital Cameras; use multiple browsers ( Opera

and FireFox )

 

- run both with multiple tabs, play music from radio stations,

 

do Distributed processing in back ground..

 

all for Free..

But

 

when offered a bootleg copy of XP or Vista..

Because they only know Microsoft..

 

- they won't know any better than to buy it !

Bet you cover your mouth and flip your hair when you <snicker>.

 

Your problem is mastering the tools you buy.

Vista is a tool most competent people without an agenda can easily master.

 

You bought the wrong tool for your IQ.

 

Try ubuntu .... I'll be looking for you in alt.os.linux.ubuntu for when

gparted has you confused.

I'm not sure either.

 

But I suspect analogy is descended from Guy Kawasaki's (famous?)

comparison of Macintosh to Windows as being like a real woman

compared to a transvestite.

 

I've dabbled in Ubuntu, but for day-in-and-day-out computing in

my workplace I'll take my XP Pro boxes any day of the year.

 

OTOH, if the money for an OS license were a consideration and all

I wanted to do was basic home stuff like composing .rtf

documents, web browsing, email, and simple spreadsheets I think

Ubuntu would be the no-brainer. Dunno if it does photo

management, but I'd think it probably does....

Pete:

 

- Yes, Ubuntu does photo management.

 

f-Spot photo manager recognized my camera, let me upload pictures into

the picture directory and offered 3 utilities , including GIMP

(Photoshop )

 

to modify them as I wished.

 

I was again, pleasantly surprised;- and it is So fast.. !

 

on my 2003 Pentium IV with a Gig of ram, new hard drive

and 256 Meg ATIGraphics card

You forgot about multiple screens to get rid of screen clutter. And you

did not mention security. And you did not mention up time. And you did

not mention that when a program crashes the likelihood of a reboot is

high. And you did not mention then when you upgrade you OS you may have

to upgrade other software.

 

And get ready for a reply from Da Jerk.
