Being as you've never installed Ubuntu, you don't know so, you're lying

I have ubuntu installed.
I'm not impressed...
It runs, but not so well...it looks old.
Takes some digging to set up, and I really haven't noticed it being fast.
I have a PD 3.2GHz , 2 GB RAM , and it doesn't seem to use it much.
It is IN NO WAY a replacement for Vista....Vista outshines it in every way.
But it has been fun tinkering with it.

It may or may not be the upcoming thing but why do you lie about it if it
is?
If Ubuntu really were good and could do everything for everybody there
wouldn't be a problem with what you say.
However as it isn't its time you told the truth rather than having many
dissatisfied "customers" thinking Linux is junk.

Obviously the ones you don't run that many others do.

That is rubbish if you are talking about vista.
It is very similar to ubuntu except it has more feedback on how progress is
going.
If you can get your machine to boot from DVD you can install vista by
answering maybe 15 questions.
You should try it some time.
