My first 64 bit experience
,----[ Quote ]
| When Vista came, I installed it, and used HP's driver disk to install all
| the necessary drivers. It looked great, but I noticed that my new,
| powerful "Windows Vista Premium Ready" computer was working hard enough
| for my cooling fans to be running non-stop. Then I applied my old "XP
| on steroids" method on Vista, then the network crapped out. I turned
| off the Windows Workgroup, QOS Packet Scheduler, and IPv6 services,
| and I could connect for about an hour at a time, with a speed of 6
| BYTES/sec. I am on a T5 pipe! One day, about a week ago, I was
| downloading a Xubuntu 7.04 CD for my old PC, to make it useful as
| an SSH server. I got constant BSODs, and eventually Vista refused
| to boot.

| I am no Linux newbie. I am in the process of using my old computer
| to roll my own distribution, Darkwave, that I have worked on from
| scratch, based on a minimal install of Debian Etch. I have been
| working with Linux for about 6 years, longer than I have with
| Windows. For the record, I am running some variant of it on all
| my PCs, and my PDAs. I'm not a fanboy, I respect both sides, bit
| prefer the freedom of Linux.

The exodus...
Are You Getting Sick Of Microsoft Windows?

| I have been running Ubuntu Linux now for 18 months and can’t see any reason
| now to return to windows. Once you get past the mind set of using closed
| source software a whole new world opens up before you and you realise that
| amazing things are possible with linux.
