Windows 7 vs. Ubuntu 10.04 Beta 1
,----[ Quote ]
| Having said so, I kept feeling Windows 7
| would never surprise me again after a mere
| couple hours of use. Windows offers
| immediately its goods, but once
| discovered, all paths beyond them seem to
| end very quickly. In turn, Ubuntu felt
| more like an empty canvas, offering a vast
| amount of choices. From system
| configuration to Look&Feel and
| applications available, there were options
| all over the place for the end user to
| pick. In that sense, Ubuntu and Linux
| don't feel immediate or still, but ever
| changing and evolving after the user's
| will and skills.
|
| Aside from its inherent flexibility,
| Ubuntu keeps a 6 month release schedule,
| which allows it to stay much more current
| and fresh. While Windows 7 will remain
| almost unchanged for a good 3-4 years,
| Ubuntu 12.04, for instance, will likely be
| very different to 10.04.

7 Things That Are Easier To Do In Ubuntu Than In Windows
,----[ Quote ]
| When the average computer user hears about
| Ubuntu or Linux, the word âdifficultâ
| comes to mind. This is understandable:
| learning a new operating system is never
| without its challenges, and in many ways
| Ubuntu is far from perfect. Iâd like to
| say that using Ubuntu is actually easier
| and better than using Windows.
|
| This doesnât mean youâll experience it
| that way if youâve used Windows for a long
| time: at a certain your habits begin to
| feel like conventional wisdom, and any
| system that doesnât match your current
| habits will seem difficult.
|
| [...]
|
| In many ways, Ubuntu is easier to use than
| Windows. Does this mean Ubuntu is superior
| to Windows? Of course not, and I wouldnât
| suggest so. You should use whatever
| operating system works best for you.

Suddenly a Vista-phonic Moment
,----[ Quote ]
| I dumped Vista and put Ubuntu 9.04 and later
| 9.1 on the exact same DELL with NO hardware
| changes and it has never even hiccuped once.
| It has run without ANY failures and only has
| required one reboot (outside of new kernel
| installs)in the year since I installed Ubuntu
| 9.04.
