Vista. > >For free ... ubuntu ... it's free for a reason. >Malware usually is free : ) 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.

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.

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.
