The other poster had it wrong. Vista is cool. Even though Vista has
problems, they are nowhere near the problems that Ubuntu has.

While I agree that vista is very good and as most new systems have there are
some minor problem but unless you use Ubuntu as well how can you judge. I
find Ubuntu has few except it does need command line use for some of its
operations.

Getting the average pc user to try installing and using Ubuntu
will ensure that they will return to Windows and complain
about it less.

M$ should even consider the marketing strategy of
slipping a Ubuntu disk into every Vista pack.

Yeah, guessing someone's trying to generate some spam for Mr. Vanderholt...
 
Has anyone tried 7.10? Is it worth getting? (not to replace Windows)

It still amazes me that some would ask this here and not in a linux
newsgroup. Unless they are bored since Alias left. I'm pretty sure Frank
is.
 
Alias is probably on vacation. When he comes back, he will get a new "name"
and things will be back to normal

Oh please, how many people actually install ANY version of windows?

0.1%? 0.2% maybe? 1% MAYBE???? That's stretching it already though...

The remaining 99% buy a PC with windows pre-installed...

Get real...the majority of users would be unable to install ANY operating
system.

I've run the very first alpha release for a little while, had some new
neat features.

One of the things I am really liking the idea of, but I didn't get to test
any of that yet, is the upcoming support for hot pluggable drivers and
monitors in 7.10.

Which basically means it'll finally be able to just switch monitors
without the need to reconfigure and the same goes for drivers.

And, another thing I've been waiting for, due to the hot pluggable
driver support, is that it will finally fall back to a safe driver to use
if the installed driver fails to start. Basically something that can
happen when upgrading video cards for instance.

The restricted driver manager that was introduced in 7.04 is also getting
some upgrades, more drivers, including support for some Winmodems. That
should make wireless much easier I think. I think I might try throwing the
latest Gutsy release on my laptop and seeing if it actually will recognize
the broadcom wireless card out of the box now.

It'll also have built in support for Compiz Fusion. Beryl kicked Aero's
butt but Compiz Fusion kick's Beryl's butt. Now here does this leave Aero...

And that's just some of the major highlights. There'll also be the usual
assortment of upgrades to all the various applications, user interface,
etc.

Is it worth getting? Yes. I am waiting in very high anticipation. =)

As long as there are idiots like Frank posting here, things won't be
"normal" or even close.

Thanks for that. I asked the question here because I need the perspective
of a real computer user, not a Linux apologist who thinks it's perfectly
reasonable to spend fifteen minutes trying to get a software onto their
system. I've had issues with Ubuntu, chief amongst them all being my Intel
3945ABG wireless on my laptop. The restricted drivers in 7.04 didn't work.
They were a step ahead though. They managed to give me a list of available
networks, and I could get up to the point where I enter my WEP. Now, if
only it did something with that, rather than think for 30s and pop up the
same window again.

Once again, thanks for your elaborate input.
