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

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.

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.

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 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 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.

Talkback The default setting for OS X is firewall off (I don't know why) while the default for Vista and Ubuntu is on. Ah well, it would've been nice to get one of those shiny new Macs, but no one would pay for the airfare and a nice hotel and beer for me...
