Ubuntu v6 to 7: less than a year (June 2006 - April 2007)

XP to Vista: 6 years (October 2001 - Janurary 2007)

 

And I'm not head over heels anything. I'm just objective enough to see the

benefits of both systems (well 2k and XP on the MS side. I've still yet to

see anything worthy of moving myself to Vista yet)

    Get with the program Frank. I said "moving myself to Vista". I can still

    have it installed to test, use, and play with. And besides less than a

    week ago I already told you I had it installed.

    Hummm...sometimes I'm not so sure when someone who claims to be 'with

    Personally, I don't like the idea of replacing my OS every 6 months. I want

    a machine I can use for daily light entertainment (internet, not video

    editing) and not have to reinstall my other apps (games, gadgets, etc) for

    several years at a time. Of course, this is home unit, I decide. At work,

    well, whatever the boss is willing to pay for, that's what we use. -)

    With Windows, replacing it every six months would be a royal PITA. With

    Ubuntu, we're talking a few hours.

    You're extremely ill informed and continually lie and spread FUD about

    Windows.

    Grow up you stupid linux loser troll!

    Haven't you made a big enough fool out of yourself already?

    Or is more on the way?

    I've wiped the drive and installed windows clean in just an afternoon,

    including tweaks and settings, and installing optional programs, but only

    about once every 3 or 4 years on each unit. I'm getting lazy in my old age.

    I work at work, so I want my home computer to run stable with very little

    fuss and bother. Point and click simplicity. I read online newspapers

    instead of buying paper, because it's easiest. I get the weather alerts

    instantly and silently, without interrupting my wife's movie or soap opera,

    nice and easy. Computers are a tool for me, not a hobby. Swimming is

    recreation here, not a competitive sport. When I'm home, I want an average

    system for an average home user.

    Then you don't want Windows. Ubuntu does all of the above and more and

    doesn't need an anti virus or anti malware programs.

    If not, do you give lessons on how to be a damn fool Frankie? Seems to

    be the only thing you're good at.

    No, I want I like. You want what you like. Mac users prefer Mac and iMac.

    It's really that simple. What's really funny is the way spam it thread to

    thread like a "Jehovahs Witness" recruiting door to door. Pretty pathetc.

    No one says you have to replace your OS every 6 months. If you're happy

    with the way things are working than stick with what you have (which is why

    I still have Win2k as my primary OS). I'm not 100% sure on this (so maybe

    one of the other Linux know-it-all's can clarify) but I also don't think you

    have to replace the OS.....When a new version is released you can just

    update your system similar to how Windows Update works.
