Guest Post: Linux is the future, even after Windows 7 release

,----[ Quote ]
| Many of the benefits of Linux are subtle. It doesn't come 
| with any nagware. The default media player supports both many 
| formats including QuickTime and Windows media. Likewise, the 
| instant messaging program supports 16 different protocols. 
| The GUI is more customizable. But the best feature of Linux 
| is something that neither Windows nor the Macintosh have: a 
| rich set of free applications, installable with one click...

Feature-By-Feature: Ubuntu 9.10 Vs. Windows 7

,----[ Quote ]
| Ubuntu 9.10 Desktop
| Karmic Koala's desktop should be familiar
| to Windows users. Right-click menu
| shortcuts and  personalizing the desktop
| features are similar to Windows 7. The
| desktop still isn't as "glitzy" as Windows
| 7, but users can get the eye candy of
| Windows 7 with a fast graphics card and can
| choose the "Extra" settings in Ubuntu
| 9.10's "Appearance Preferences."

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.
