New Directions - Ubuntu
,----[ Quote ]
| After my recent adventures with Vista, I decided to try a new direction. I've
| been considering trying Ubuntu on my "test" laptop, the Fujitsu-Siemens S2110
| (AMD Turion 64).
|
| [...]
|
| I downloaded the Ubuntu CD image, burned it to a disk, swapped the hard
| drives and booted the CD. Less than an hour later the installation was
| finished, and it was up and running. I have tried this several times before,
| most recently with SuSE Linux, and this one the first time that it seemed to
| have gotten all of the major laptop devices and configurations figured out
| properly. I'm impressed.

How Much Does Vista Suck? Let Me Count the Ways
,----[ Quote ]
| Vista is so hell bent on protecting you from yourself that it has rendered
| itself practically unusable. And these are only a few of the things that
| bother me about it. There are many others, too many to detail here.
|
| As a technology journalist, I need to test software on different operating
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
| systems, and as such, it means I have to deal with Vista even though I would
| just as soon not use it again.

Will Windows Vista Succeed In 2008? Don't Count On It
,----[ Quote ]
| Vista has certainly been slow out of the gate. Sure, Microsoft is putting the
| operating system on newly shipped systems, but Vista sales didn’t benefit
| from the upgrade surge that previous OSes got upon release. A year after it
| began shipping, less than one percent of corporate desktops are running
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
| Vista.

Acer: PC industry 'disappointed' with Vista
,----[ Quote
| Acer president Gianfranco Lanci became the first major PC manufacturer to
| openly attack Microsoft over the Windows Vista operating system in the
| Financial Times Deutschland on Monday.
|
| Lanci said the operating system was riddled with problems and gave users and
| businesses no reason to buy a new PC, according to the report. Taiwan-based
| Acer is the world's fourth-largest PC manufacturer, after HP, Dell and
| Lenovo.
|
| "The whole industry is disappointed with Windows Vista," Lanci said.

Interesting comment from CompUSA
,----[ Quote ]
| Every single one of them he said was returned from consumers... and that they
| (CompUSA) couldn't ship them back. As he heard, Microsoft wasn't giving
| credit back for unsold or returned copies... and didn't want the returned
| figures made public... He wouldn't say that every single one of them
| exchanged for a copy of Xp, he didn't know if that was true. So, I asked how
| many boxes did they have. Same glare, followed with a "You do not want to
| know" type statement.
