Why would anyone buy Vista *anything* when Ubuntu is available for free

and is a far superior operating system. Check it out at http://www.ubuntu.com

For you if you are just -- just a home user, no.

It all depends on your personal computing needs.

Compare the features of different Vista editions at this site:

Then make an informed decision based on your needs.

Ultimate will allow you to set the culture language to be used.

Sorry, but now you're a Johnny come lately. I installed Ubuntu and have

been using it now for two years and I'm quite happy with it. I got it

from http://www.ubuntu.com

Very good point. For other differences, here's an easy to read chart

giving the differences between Vista versions:

It depends if the home user wants the media center capabilities. But to

be honest, I don't see why they should pay all that money for bloated,

buggy versions of vista when there are many great low or no cost

solutions such as Freevo, MythDora and MythTV out there.

Some people want to have a FAX utility built-in.

Some people are running home client-server networks

with a Domain.

Also, Does Home have the Windows Media app?

 

If Home does everything you need and plan to need,

then, no, there is certainly no reason to buy more.

It would be a waste of money.

And the reason you think I care what your opinion of me is? Maybe if you

stop using Vista and use a real operating system, you won't be such a

wank, Frank.

Ya know...I was just thinking. I have never had to pay for any version

of windows ever. Having freinds at MS has paid off.

 

If I had to pay for it I probably would have become a pirate.

 

But I would still use their OS. It really is the best.

vista basic does not have AERO....

 

you might as well stick to XP if your gonna buy basic ...

 

others seem to think the same ...

 

 

''People buying PCs running the Home Basic edition of Vista could be

disappointed because of false expectations raised by Microsoft’s

marketing campaign, an 'Acer ' (http://www.acer.co.uk/)executive warned

today.

Jim Wong, president of Acer’s IT products business group, said

promotion of the new operating system features advanced graphics that

are available on the Home Premium edition, but not the cheaper Basic

version.

They look almost like two different operating systems, he said in

Taiwan''

Hi

 

I have got what I would regard as a pretty [over]complicated setup here at

home, with Windows Server 2003 Standard, but really cannot see any need for

setting up a domain.

 

In my secondary work as a CAD consultant, I've set up a handful of small

architect office networks, and didn't see any need for a domain there

either, as there is no need for that degree of lockdown and security, and

the clients really did not want the extra complexity and cost of

administration.

 

I know that doing that is a lot easier with SBS, but when I tried using that

a few years ago, doing certain things was impossible through the wizards,

which actually ended up making it more complicated, so I gave up on using

it. If you try bypassing the wizards, it seems to mess things up.

Everybody's needs (and desires) are different, and it's not as simple

as home user vs. office user. Not all home users have the same needs

and not all office users have the same needs. You should look at the

feature set of each of the editions, and choose the one that best

matches *your* needs, without regard to whether its name includes

words like "Home," Business," etc.

I'm a home user and I would never use Vista Basic, as it wouldn't support

the type of image editing I want to do. On the other hand, I wouldn't bother

with Ultimate, either, as I'm not into games. I bought a decent Home Premium

system, and would frankly recommend that over Basic any day.

Your being "Happy" with Ubuntu with your limited scope of experience

does not make Ubuntu a better operating system for others.

 

Your blanket claim that Ubuntu is "Ubuntu is available for free

and is a far superior operating system." is only valid in your

experience.

 

Most people will be disappointed with Ubuntu.

This is your opinion. I have mine. Others have theirs. Unlike you, I

think people should make up their minds themselves as to what they like

or dislike. I also like Macs and XP. My first computer was a Mac back in

1984.
