Blog Comment I've just realised that in my bitter rant about being stuck with Windows at work I haven't said what I think about 2Vista versus The Gutsy Gibbon" Gibbon every time Vista is extremely slow, even on computers apparently designed for it.

Blog Comment Rupert: What package do you use for Exchange email integration? More specifically, do you have a method of connecting to a M$ Exchange Server (in other words, not pop3 or imap). I've been looking for a way to move away from Outlook in our...

Blog Comment Mars (a ninja) Evolution is the standard e-mail program with Ubuntu I've been using it to connect to the exchange server where I work with no problems. It picks up mail calendar appointments contacts and tasks, but for some reason not notes.

Blog Comment Wow you are correct! I swear MS Exchange Server wasn't working up until recently. Admittedly, I'm still running 7.04, i don't think the Exchange server worked until i updated (i guess i should keep on those updates huh?

Blog Comment I used to work in a corporation where I was initially given a Windows 2000 PC. And I was supposed to maintain an application which was "windows-based. I discovered quickly it was mostly made of badly programmed Python scripts that didn't actually...

Vista versus The Gutsy Gibbon - Ubuntu 7.10
Blog Comment I don't much like Evolution, I have to say. It works, but it's a bit flakey (or at least, the version I was running under 7.04 was). The password authentication box pops up but won't accept input for a moment or two, and a few times the package has...

Blog Comment I won't defend Vista, but on a Sony laptop? cmon.it would probably run better on your old Compaq. RE: the Vista shutdown lameness, there's a whole story on that: http://moishelettvin.blogspot.com/2006/11/windows-shutdown-crapfest.html

Blog Comment Why not use Win+D? It works in Vista and XP, and there's no need to Win+Shift+D to bring your windows back (like Win+Shift+U)! Win+D - Show Desktop! Win+D - Give me my windows back! And of course, Ctr+Alt+D does the same in ubuntu.o)

Blog Comment >Ubuntu goes out of its way to get out of your way, even if it doesn't succeed all the time. Right on. Also, Open Office, which I got chummy with the way I never got chummy with Micro$oft Office, works a lot better (particularly with some power...

Vista versus The Gutsy Gibbon - Ubuntu 7.10
Blog Comment I have to agree - I've been really enjoying Ubuntu since i moved over. It's a bit slower than XP (noticeably, but not irritatingly) at times, but given that my machine won't touch Vista, but is running a system I find to be more powerful, easier to...

Blog Comment Strangely, no one has pointed out that there is one important UI area where Vista is far and away more advanced and capable than either XP, Linux, or even Mac OS: the tablet PC platform. Vista is the only OS for PC's (including Macs) that has...

Blog Comment OneNote is a great piece of software. Tablet PCs.well, it's true that MS has the best tablet tech (if you avert your eyes from the way Apple's going with the iPhone/iTouch, and avert them even harder from the Surface).

Blog Comment Like you Rupert, I find myself in a mixed environment of various version of Windows (mainly XPs) and Linux (mainly RHELs and Ubuntus). While I agree on your take on Ubuntus ease of use, I have one major issue with it (on my Dell D420 laptop):
