Ubuntu's Karmic Koala bares fangs at Windows 7

,----[ Quote ]
| Overall, then: Ubuntu 9.10 is a very stable 
| and despite a few quirks - like needing to 
| enable AppArmor settings by hand - a worthy 
| successor to Ubuntu 9.04.

| If you don't already know all of the details 
| about Ubuntu 9.10, you aren't reading 
| Phoronix enough with our plethora of 
| coverage. Though some of the highlights for 
| Ubuntu 9.10 include new artwork, GNOME 2.28 
| integration, many updates to its graphics 
| stack, the Ubuntu Software Center, GRUB2 
| integration, and much more.

Yes, Ubuntu can absolutely be the default Windows alternative

| If Ubuntu can work well on every device
| users encounter (including non-Intel
| smartbooks and other new classes of portable
| devices that will be emerging in the next
| couple of years, displacing notebooks for
| many consumers), then name recognition will
| follow.
|
| Obviously, the PC space is dominated by
| Windows. Yet no matter how spiffy Windows 7
| is (and even Shuttleworth acknowledged that
| it was a good OS, worthy of competing with
| Ubuntu), Vista taught us all a lesson
| (consumers and techies alike). There are
| alternatives to the latest and greatest from
| Microsoft, even if thatâs Windows XP. We
| donât have to upgrade.
|
| This âPC spaceâ is changing, though. Windows
| Mobile stinks. Microsoft has no plans to
| develop Windows on ARM platforms.
