I'd like to see him in a couple of years, when XP falls out of M$oft's grace and he finds himself with a broken system full of holes with no new patches to cover them and in which all viruses actually work! :PMegatotorohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02268018256762186695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1514795258871703434.post-11874157561407407322010-08-29T19:55:26.778-06:002010-08-29T19:55:26.778-06:00@ Theguy,
All your rebuttal comes from your skimp...@ Theguy,<br /><br />All your rebuttal comes from your skimpy knowledge of Ubuntu. Well, you claim to have used Mandriva once. Which one?<br />I am basing my criticism on current facts. I'm not saying Windows is terrible because WinME was terrible.<br /><br />My systems have worked with Mandriva as they NEVER did with XP. Yet, you might say that subjectivity is rarely evidence for anything, right? Well, same goes for your Ubuntu experience.<br /><br />Working hardware? That depends on the drivers. I can operate my printer/scanner/MP4 player on Linux without any driver install.<br />Drivers? As in Vista, they are also a problem in Win7.<br />Hibernation and suspend? Windows computers crash, so nothing new there.<br />Boot up speed? Run the test five-seven months later. <br />Diversity? An advantage instead of a problem.<br />Unsupportive, aggressive communities? Point well-taken there. There are some Linux communities I myself dare not approach. However, I prefer those than giving my money to a company that does not care for my needs as a user :-PMechatotorohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15816943718402270287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1514795258871703434.post-3940300402073539112010-08-26T23:02:57.467-06:002010-08-26T23:02:57.467-06:00Seven actually good reasons to go back to Windows:...Seven actually good reasons to go back to Windows:<br /><br />1. Hibernation and suspend ACTUALLY work.<br />2. You can get almost all the good Linux applications ported to Windows.<br />3. You can buy any piece of hardware and be sure that it WILL work.<br />4. It's faster you know? Go search for the benchmark made by Phoronix (Linux supporters) of Windows 7 vs Ubuntu 10.04<br />5. Why would you learn Mono on Linux, if you can learn .NET on Windows? Not playing catch-up anymore.<br />6. "Microsoft is a bunch of thieves. They don't like to support XP anymore, so they push people into Vista (7). Sure thing, there are morons here<br />too (in the 90% percent of the world population), people who don't understand why would anyone want to use XP instead of Vista, but they're<br />just regular people — with Linux you have distro makers who fail to understand why people would need a system that actually works and keeps<br />working!" -- Béranger.<br />7. You don't have to bear with an über divided and sometimes non-responding or unrespectful community, or choose between many redundant and equally broken alternatives. -- Béranger, too.Theguynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1514795258871703434.post-87310666220587345042010-06-15T17:16:20.647-06:002010-06-15T17:16:20.647-06:00Thanks.

It will be a desktop PC, but I will ask for Win7 Starter on it because less is more, less is more...until we reach Nirvana: a computer with a powerful OS that will eat up all our resources to do...NOTHING! You will have to download everything if you want to start using it...but the price will be high, of course!
