    I'm giving up on Ubuntu now ...

    You were the one who handed me the straws. You complained about Compiz Fusion not being useful for business purposes, and then offered up Microsoft's "The Surface" as a better implementation of its functions. Remember? It's your example, you explain it.

    I'm giving up on Ubuntu now ...

    Nor is there a strict business need for games, media players or wallpapers. But then again, not everything revolving computers is geared directly towards business. And while on the subject of Microsoft's table... how is being bent over a $5000 - $10000 table a more functional use than a tool...

    I'm giving up on Ubuntu now ...

    But that's just hyperbole. I could just as well say that DOS has a better looking user interface than OS-X. I may loose all credibility by saying it, just like you have done, but there is no way of disproving my claim. What eeyrjmr is pointing out is that the window, icon, menu, pointing device...

    I'm giving up on Ubuntu now ...

    What if they save money on the operating system so they'll have more to spend on hardware? The problem with arguments like these is that they can be twisted in any way you like. I have personally never seen any statistical evidence to support the assertion that Linux users spend either more or...

    I'm giving up on Ubuntu now ...

    You don't really have to edit the xorg.conf to change the resolution. In Ubuntu 7.04 you run the following command: "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg", which launches a rather primitive looking but usable wizard that lets you manually set the resolution. In Ubuntu 7.10 you click...

    Why hatred of Vista?

    Who are you quoting here? I never said that. I understand perfectly well why Microsoft is not releasing DirectX 10 for XP. It has nothing to do with trust. Eh... personally I doubt Vista will gain any greater popularity. Just do a search for Vista sales on Google, and you will find a great...

    Why hatred of Vista?

    "FUD"? Is that not just about the most abused word in the English language? It's sort of like "smurf" or "marklar". The purpose of FUD is not to directly criticize a company or product but rather to instill a sense of distrust regarding said company or product. To convince them that it is not a...

    Why hatred of Vista?

    I don't think the situation with XP -> Vista is in any way similar to 9x -> 2000. The move from Windows 98 and ME to Windows 200 was huge in terms of stability and security. Windows 98 was infamous for giving you the blue screen and crashing constantly (it was not a good operating system). I did...

    Windows 2000 on new hardware, is it a good idea?

    Windows 2000 does recognize the second core, I've used it myself with my Core 2 E6400. However, if you had a single core processor installed prior to your Core 2 and you haven't reinstalled windows after the switch it will not recognize it automatically. You will need to install the ACPI...

    Dell to start preloading ubuntu

    I'm pretty sure that if you buy a Dell with pre-installed Ubuntu it would not be a clean OS-installation. I have yet to see a newly bought computer that had a clean installation of Windows on it. Most likely they will have DVD playback set up properly before they ship the computer, with all the...

    The Ultimate Linux vs. Windows Competition

    Let me just sum up general's entire argument for you... 1. Linux developers are assholes who hates everyone! [insert sarcastic remark] 2. Linux users are [insert nerd-stereotype]! [predict doom] 3. Linux is... eh... I haven't used it for about 10 years, but I'm sure it's crap! Look at all...

    The Ultimate Linux vs. Windows Competition

    On the subject of market share, I think Windows owes the majority of its market share from OEM, and very little to any specific differences between the operating systems.

    The Ultimate Linux vs. Windows Competition

    What is your source on that? The numbers I've seen lists Linux around 3.5% - 3.8%. I've also seen the number 2.8% for 2005 in a lot of places. It's arguably difficult to get reliable numbers on this. Portable versions of Photoshop will run under Linux using Wine. I've been using CS2 some time...
