Considering Vista? Give Linux a Look
,----[ Quote ]
| One key sticking point with Vista is the way it hogs resources: The
| system will only run in entirety on new, well equipped computers.
| Linux, often represented by the penguin mascot, can run without
| problem on machines with less memory, processor and graphic card
| performance. Linux also turns heads compared with Vista and Mac
| OS when it comes to price.

| I will be converting from Windows Vista to Mandriva Linux 2007.
| The conversion will start when I get my laptop, which will be an
| Acer, the hard drive will be split in two, 40GB for each partition,
| Windows XP is pre installed, so I will dual boot it with Linux, so
| if anything goes wrong, I will be able to sort it out.

No, I Don't Recommend Microsoft Vista

| So, in short. If a PC manufacturer were to send me a brand new
| top-of-the line computer for free and it came with Vista I would
| either re-format the hard drive and install XP, or refuse the
| system altogether. And that?s not an exaggeration. Just try me...
|
| But worse than that, considering that eventually XP will simply be
| outdated I'll have no choice but to migrate to a new operating system
| within the next few years. And that system will be Linux.

Linux desktops: Wiping the shine off Microsoft Vista?

| Some Linux vendors talk about the opportunities presented by the
| release (finally) of Microsoft Vista.

|
| There's time for Microsoft shops to decide on an alternative, too,
| says blogger Lynn Linse on the Lynn Verse Computer (LVC) blog:
|
| "...most organizations with more than 100 (or perhaps more than a
| dozen?) computers will just 'ghost' any new Vista-licensed computers
| back to Windows XP (or even 2000) for at least a year."
