But why wait?
Ubuntu has been out for ages and the applications are the same if you have
been keeping your system up to date.
What difference is waiting going to make other than to have some flashy
graphics to amuse you for 30 seconds or so?

You still don't mention that you still need windows when you advise them to
delete their windows.
Why do you assume its fine for them to delete windows and lose the ability
to run lots of programs when you do not want to lose this ability?

You don't have to convert linux users.. most of them already have and use
windows.
Even you have and use windows.
How you can claim to convert others to linux when you can't convert yourself
is a mystery.

My waiting has nothing to do with Ubuntu or what is has had in the past,
present or future. I posted why. Please try to keep up.

No, the Vista Virus. I recommend dual booting with XP if they are gamers
or need to use a particular Windows-only program.

Please try to keep up..
you already have Ubuntu 7.04 and the same applications that you get with
7.10 so why aren't you using Ubuntu like you keep suggesting others do? You
are only going to get a few extra graphics by waiting for 7.10 not new
applications or even bug fixes.
If it is good enough for everyone else you advise why is it not good enough
for you?
What makes you so special that your own advice does not apply?
Please list the problems that stop you using what you recommend so that we
can all understand why?

No you advise them to delete windows, you never actually ask what they have.
If you forget what you have been saying then you can use google to jog your
memory.

You do.. you never advise them that doing as you say will adversely effect
them.
I don't intend to get into an Alias lies thread with you like Frank.. use
Google if you don't believe me that you say these things.

Well, my bad, then. I state here and now that if you need Windows only
apps or games, dual boot with XP. Happy?

If I said them, I apologize. If one needs XP for something, by all means
dual boot.

You explained why you were not installing 7.10.. something to do with not
trusting it to work correctly.
You didn't explain why you are not running 7.04 which is just as good as
7.10 once its patched.

List the differences then.
AFAICS there are no difference between the applications if you keep up to
date anyway.

You are the one that claims Ubuntu is perfect for everyone else.. just
explain why it is for everyone else but not for you.
