Vista Versus The Gutsy Gibbon - Ubuntu 7.10
Blog Comment I agree on all of the above, Vista is very sluggish, especially on start-up when compared to Ubuntu. Wonderful article. I think the problem really lies in all the extra junk Microsoft is trying to shove down your throat while trying to make you...

Why I've Moved From Vista To Ubuntu 7.10
Blog Comment It is not necessary to make up BS about Vista just to make Ubuntu look good. Ubuntu has real merits. Overall, the system is a pleasure to use, and this takes absolutely NOTHING away from the goodness of Ubuntu and Mac OS X.

Vista Versus The Gutsy Gibbon - Ubuntu 7.10
Blog Comment Bring up the Adept Manager in Ubuntu. Microsoft's now promoting Vista with a campaign called "100 reasons why everyone's so speechless". Running Vista is like being in a candy store that only sells black liquorice (I _hate_ black liquorice) at...

Vista Versus The Gutsy Gibbon - Ubuntu 7.10
Blog Comment Startup time of Vista, fresh start or from "Hibernation" is VERY fast (way faster than any (regular) Linux distribution, and I always know the latest Ubuntu and OpenSuSE releases). That said, I'm quite happy with Vista!

Vista Versus The Gutsy Gibbon - Ubuntu 7.10
Blog Comment I wouldn't go near Vista but I do have a RHEL server in the basement that never needs touching from one month to the next - a quick VNC or ssh occasionally is all it takes -- and I've got Ubuntu in a VM on my desktop, and in a second partition on...

Vista Versus The Gutsy Gibbon - Ubuntu 7.10
Blog Comment Well, in the true Linux spirit of being helpful to other Linux users, I would recommend that you install Automatix as soon as you have finished installing your (K)ubuntu distro. Before you do that (Automatix has been known to cause serious...

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

Blog Comment Well, in the true Linux spirit of being helpful to other Linux users, I would recommend that you install Automatix as soon as you have finished installing your (K)ubuntu distro. I am so scared of Windows these days, that I would not even consider...

Vista Versus The Gutsy Gibbon - Ubuntu 7.10
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...

Vista Versus The Gutsy Gibbon - Ubuntu 7.10
Blog Comment Vista is horrible. 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'm not a professional techie but I'm comfortable and reasonably knowledgeable about...

Vista Versus The Gutsy Gibbon - Ubuntu 7.10
Blog Comment Gibbon every time Vista is extremely slow, even on computers apparently designed for it. When I've tried it on computers not designed for Vista it seems to spend its time telling me how bad my hardware is.

Why I've Moved From Vista To Ubuntu 7.10
Blog Comment I have had the same experience as I posted on my blog (http://blogs.ittoolbox.com/eai/madgreek/archives/dumping-vista-a-divorce-with-a-happy-ending-19844). I admit that my brand new Dell laptop might not be good enough for Vista, but that is my point.

Why I've Moved From Vista To Ubuntu 7.10
Blog Comment Hey, I'm not sore about the hardware, I actually find a lot to like in WIndows XP, I'm not holding my breath for Leopard, and I did remove enough bloatware to keep a liposuctionist busy for a week. I did install a couple of games and they worked a...

Why I've Moved From Vista To Ubuntu 7.10
Blog Comment I keep seeing this notion that Vista must be defended simply because everyone keeps saying it's slow when in reality.it's slow. Plus, whine and moan all you want about speeding up Vista, it still provides a terrible way to control your operating...

Why I've Moved From Vista To Ubuntu 7.10
Blog Comment "Why is Vista so slow" I would see if there is any way the manufacturer could give you the OEM install disk for Vista (not those recovery disks that basically reformat and re-image the drive, that just will re-install the junk that came with it...

Why I've Moved From Vista To Ubuntu 7.10
Blog Comment Oh, and I am sick enough of OSX and the way it is going nowhere very slowly, sick of the insular fanatical users, that I am currently switching back to XP and/or Ubuntu. Do not hold your breath for Leopard.

Why I've Moved From Vista To Ubuntu 7.10
Blog Comment You must have a really crappy computer because I am running Vista in a 3800 X2 with a gig of ddr 400 and Vista runs great. I was even happy that I could run Command and Conquer 3 on ultimate settings since I heard that there is a slight framerate...

Why I've Moved From Vista To Ubuntu 7.10
Blog Comment So with Vista Microsoft took a much larger effort towards system access and security. Ya know, all of these "I'm switching to Linux" articles are find and dandy but you have to take into a consideration of a number of things.

Why I've Moved From Vista To Ubuntu 7.10
Blog Comment Ubuntu also runs faster, looks nicer than the new Vista Aero desktop, and uses FAR fewer resources. I did however get the games that were not running correctly under Vista to work fine under the WINE Windows Emulator included with Ubuntu!
