Re: Bad Ubuntu
That's funny. When I do an upgrade, I don't have those nightmare problems
or issues you mentioned. Yes, it does take a reboot, but usually Windows
runs OK after the updates. I think the reason most people have problems is
because when they upgrade to Vista, they upgrade over a damaged version of
their current OS, bringing problems along with them. They don't have
current antivirus so they also introduce viruses and other problems. People
don't pay attention to the hardware factor. They install Vista on a PC
which isn't designed for Vista and complain.
If they follow common sense, most problems would go away. Yes, there will
always be problems, but Vista is much more complicated than that toy Ubuntu
OS.
For playing and tinkering, use Ubuntu.
For heavy lifting and real work, use a solution that will get the job done.
Windoze !
