Ubuntu Karmic Koala- A perfect alternative to Windows 7

,----[ Quote ]
| Before you decide to pay for a Windows 7 license, I 
| would humbly urge you to first download a copy of 
| Karmic Koala, give it a try for a week or two and 
| then make an unbiased assessment of it yourself. 
| You will see that you would not have to spend money 
| whatsoever on a pile of software that crumbles at 
| the least attack made on it. Do you intend using 
| Windows 7? Please tell us why or why you would not 
| use Ubuntu.

What Is The Achilles Heel of Windows 7?

,----[ Quote ]
| Another upgrade issue for Windows 7 is a familiar 
| one, the confusion resulting in decision paralysis 
| caused by the multiple versions of Windows 7 to 
| choose from. I consider this manipulative strategy 
| to be unethical. Microsoft should take a cue from 
| Apple and release one version with all the bells 
| and whistles at a reasonable price. Mac Os X Snow 
| Leopard has all the bells and whistles and costs 
| $90 less than Windows 7 Home Premium, which does 
| not have all the features that the expensive 
| Windows 7 Ultimate edition contains. This Microsoft 
| strategy will discourage early adoption of Windows 
| 7, and like the Windows XP upgrade problem, most 
| will use their decision paralysis as an excuse to 
| not get Windows 7 until their Windows XP computer 
| dies.
| 
| [...]
| 
| The adoption rate of Windows 7 is going to be slow. 
| By the time the majority of Windows users have 
| upgraded to W7, Apple and the various Linux 
| distributions will likely have new versions of 
| their systems that will once again put Windows in 
| the back seat of advancements.

Windows vs Ubuntu Release Parties

,----[ Quote ]
| The open source community doesn't generally get the
| niceties like balloons and napkins, but we do know how
| to celebrate a good thing. The above is from a release
| celebration for Ubuntu (9.10 is coming out later this
| month!).

Windows 7 party loot up for sale already?

,----[ Quote ]
| After reading this exchange, I decided to 
| look on Ebay and found that a signed copy of 
| Windows 7 was for sale for Â150.  You can 
| see that item here.  There were 5 other 
| copies in total, for sale and at time of 
| writing none have received any bids.  I 
| wonder how much they will go for?
