- From Linux VM on Windows to Windows VM on Linux

,----[ Quote ]
| For more than a decade, I had been a big fan 
| of Microsoft Software, especially Windows and 
| Office (just a fan, not a fanboy). Once in a 
| while, when a new distro Linux comes out, I 
| used to try it for a day or two and forget 
| about it. And if I had to use it for a long 
| time, I used to do create a virtual machine 
| for linux, which again never lasted more than 
| few weeks.

Ubuntu for Windows users

,----[ Quote ]
| QUESTIONS that I get in the mail show that 
| quite a number of Windows users are curious 
| about what to expect when they make the jump 
| to Linux.
| 
| While answering one such question this week, I 
| realized that Iâve already written quite a bit 
| about how things are done in Linux as opposed 
| to Windows, but that these snippets were 
| scattered over many columns over the last 
| three years. I thought it might be useful to 
| gather that information in one column, where 
| it might help more Windows users to make the 
| switch to Ubuntu Linux.

Windows 7 vs Ubuntu 9.10

,----[ Quote ]
| I love Windows 7 but I canât give up by favorite
| Linux OS either. So, I finally decided to do a
| Performance Benchmark Showdown to decide who
| gets to rule on my PC. Probably, everyone knows
| whatâs new in both of them.
|
| [...]
|
| All said and done, if you need performance,
| Ubuntu is for you. If you are looking onGaming,
| you have no other choice than Windows. If you
| are looking at Features again Windows 7 is the
| one for you.

| In Ubuntu's case one of its assets is the
| work done to support netbook PCs. Ubuntu's
| Netbook Remix interface is a very slick
| alternative for the smaller screen space
| common on netbooks.

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.

| I was musing to my coworkers that if it had
| the following, I could switch from Linux:
|
| 1) A decent software packaging system.
| 2) Built-in Virtual Desktops.
| 3) Middle-button paste.
