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. Overall, the system is a pleasure to use, and this takes absolutely NOTHING away from the goodness of Ubuntu and Mac OS X. Ubuntu has real merits.

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). The disk access - when it does lots of them - even seems to be...

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!

Vista Versus The Gutsy Gibbon - Ubuntu 7.10
Blog Comment Bring up the Adept Manager in Ubuntu. That's the kind of candy store Vista is. 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...

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 I'm not a professional techie but I'm comfortable and reasonably knowledgeable about computers and I'm just furious about the load of crap that is Vista. Vista is horrible. I recently bought a beautiful new Dell laptop - the XPS M1330 with all the...

Vista Versus The Gutsy Gibbon - Ubuntu 7.10
Blog Comment XP works, it's got loads of faults, but it works and I see no pressing reason to move to Vista. 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...

Why I've Moved From Vista To Ubuntu 7.10
Blog Comment Plus, whine and moan all you want about speeding up Vista, it still provides a terrible way to control your operating system from the standpoint of an experienced user. I keep seeing this notion that Vista must be defended simply because everyone...

Why I've Moved From Vista To Ubuntu 7.10
Blog Comment Vista will probably never be faster than most distros of Linux but it should run much faster on a clean install without a bunch of services and apps the manufacturer decided to add. "Why is Vista so slow"

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. It is just more of the same with extra eye candy from Apple.

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 As a matter of fact, my old clunker PC is now running Kubuntu with only 256M and a 1.7GHz processor and beats the pants off of Vista on a dual core processor with a Gig of memory. I have had the same experience as I posted on my blog (http://blogs...

Why I've Moved From Vista To Ubuntu 7.10
Blog Comment There is probably one other thing, after vista has booted a few times it tries to get itself sorted, whenever you aren't using the cpu or ram you aren't using, its usually looking at it self, seeing what it can do to speed up, in fact after a...
