Criticizing Vista Doesn’t Mean Promoting Ubuntu
,----[ Quote ]
| In fact, I think that the idea of using the failure of Vista to seek Linux
| converts distracts free-software advocates from the more effective strategy
| of criticizing proprietary platforms–Microsoft and Apple–in general.
|
| If you tell someone not to use Vista because it’s a resource-hog, she’s much
| more likely simply to stick with XP than switch to Ubuntu.
|
| And if you criticize Windows for being insecure, she’ll probably end up
| buying a Mac, not a Linux netbook.
|
| On the other hand, if you point out Ubuntu’s strengths–as opposed to Vista’s
| weaknesses–you might gain a convert. The immediate and practical advantages
| of Ubuntu–adaptability to individual needs, rapid innovation, thousands of
| productivity applications downloadable in a few clicks–are attractions with
| which Windows and OS X, because of their development models, can’t compete.

Alternative to Vista? Try the user friendly PCLINUXOS 2007!

| At last, a superb Linux is out. Its called PCLINUXOS 2007
| and its the most user friendly linux that I have found up to date. It
| puts ubuntu linux to shame. I never liked ubuntu much anyway.

Microsoft Is Giving Up on Windows

| It's true: Microsoft has confirmed that it's abandoning Windows as we know
| it. Cagey as ever, the Microsofties won't say when it'll happen, but they
| have talked a little bit about what the next OS is going to look like--or not
| look like.

| Midori for Linux?
|
| One of my smarter-than-me buddies, Gary F., told me that Linus Torvalds
| worked on something called Midori a few years ago, an embedded Linux for
| mobile devices: "I doubt Microsoft would ever release something that could be
| traced back to Linux, but if I recall correctly, Transmeta's Midori had some
| rudimentary 'cloud computing' features vaguely similar to Microsoft's
| Midori." Read "Details emerge on Transmeta's "Mobile Linux" and "Transmeta
| Exports Midori Linux to China" for details.
