Vista Vs Ubuntu: This Time, It's Virtual
Blog So I decided to put Ubuntu on the Vista dual-core Centrino laptop. Of course, I can't just put a Windows OS on my Ubuntu machinery - don't have an unused Genuine Windows Advantage XP or Vista, and to reuse anything would be against the licence.

Vista To XP - Two Weeks Later
Blog Comment The computer also runs very well with Ubuntu and/or SuSe 10.3 installed in a multi-boot situation but, unfortunately, my rather expensive printer is just a ‘paper weight’. I bought an HP laptop computer running Vista Business Edition, decent...

New Debian GNU/Linux Update
Blog I would then have one disk for my S6510 laptop that triple-boots XP Professional, Ubuntu and Mandriva, and another that dual-boots Vista and Debian. The first piece of good news is that it seems to understand the Mobile Intel 965 display adapter...

Quad Boot - Friday Update - It's Good!
Blog Ubuntu: This probably wins the "dead easy" install and use award. Of course, all three of them are more stable that XP Professional on this laptop, and miles more stable than Vista was. It is very flexible, it did an excellent job of recognizing...

Vista Versus The Gutsy Gibbon - Ubuntu 7.10
Blog Comment I recently bought a beautiful new Dell laptop - the XPS M1330 with all the bells and whistles - running Vista (XP was not offered as an option). I had to travel to China with my new laptop and couldn't get online at all - though my old Dell laptop...

PCLinuxOS 2008 Gnome On New Laptop.
Blog Comment Anyway, I agree with you, between Ubuntu and XP Professional, it is extremely unlikely that I will ever go back to Vista for anything more than just general-interest testing and comparison. A related question is, for those who bought Vista Business...

Dual-Boot Ubuntu And Windows XP Professional
Blog I kept my "primary" Windows XP disk intact, by using a second disk drive which I had previously used to test Vista and Ubuntu on that system. But that one is actually able to run Vista (more or less), so I would like to set it up with partitions...
