Aero Glass vs. Compiz

 

 

 

Compiz beats out Aero hands down due Compiz being much more configurable.

 

 

 

Work Stations

 

 

 

Ubuntu beats out Windows 7 because it has more than one work station or

 

desktop. To get more than one with Windows 7, one has to spend money on

 

a third part program.

 

 

 

File search

 

 

 

Windows 7's file search is far superior to the one that comes with XP

 

but is slow compared to Ubuntu.

 

 

 

File transfer

 

 

 

Windows is still slower than Linux.

 

 

 

Internet speeds

 

 

 

Windows is still slower than Linux.

 

 

 

Boot up time.

 

 

 

Windows is still slower than Linux.

 

 

 

Safe surfing

 

 

 

Windows is still more vulnerable than Linux.

 

 

 

Games that come with Windows

 

 

 

I prefer the ones that come with XP over 7. Even Spider Solitaire is

 

quicker in XP than Windows 7. Ubuntu comes with a lot more preloaded

 

than either 7 or XP. Ubuntu wins again.

 

 

 

Wallpaper and themes

 

 

 

Windows 7 does win on this one as the wallpapers and themes are pretty

 

cool in 7.

 

 

 

Cost:

 

 

 

To have Windows 7 with PhotoShop and MS Office, we're talking more than

 

a grand you have to spend. Of course, with Ubuntu, the cost is nothing.

 

Ubuntu wins again.

 

 

 

All and all, Windows 7 is much better than XP but pales compared to Ubuntu.

Since OO and GIMP are cross-platform and available for Windows,

 

this comparison doesn' fly. It would only cost the OS cost.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But, I digress.....

 

 

 

 

 

Didn't you say you were going to stop the Linux thing ?

The difference between Windows 7 and Ubuntu.

 

 

 

Windows 7 costs money.

 

Ubuntu is FREE.

 

 

 

People still choose Windows 7.

Another way to look at that would be that you can have both for the cost

 

of win7. But you can't have both for the cost of Linux.

 

 

 

Most people don't 'choose' win7 - that's what they get and are not

 

presented with a CHOICE - they don't even know what a 'linux' is.

Me thinks that if GIMP had a 'normal' user interface, many more

 

people would use it. The multiple-top-level-windows GUI

Today, you posted your "differences & similarities" post that was an

 

uncalled for, OT personal opinion, and you were obviously looking for a

 

fight.

 

This is a Windows 7 ng, not a comparison ng for comparing Windows vs any

 

other OS.

 

We all realize you've only had Windows 7 Home Premium for a few weeks

 

now and are just now learning how to use it, which is very obvious, and

 

you've been pushing that POS useless toy os, up-yr-fucking-butt-too, in

 

Windows ng's for yrs, (to no avail, as no one in their right mind would

 

use that crap), and you continue to post about it and you are obviously

 

looking for a fight, not a civilized conversation, so stop LYING!
