XP to Linux Ubuntu

Well, I have finally moved to Linux this week at home. I am pleased that it
has a graphical interface. It has not crashed once in a week of full time
use. No need to reboot after installation of new programs. Good software
base. Well, I could go on, but won't about the benefits.

Bill Gates just went too far with Vista. Just too far. Price, stability,
drivers, activations, bugs, betas, etc.

Not Bill Gates but Steve, "Screamer", Ballmer went too far.

Re: XP to Linux Ubuntu

Let's see now, in a VISTA group, you reported going from XP to Linux. That
sure helps people here. It's about as relevant as a "tits on a bull"

You're right, an OS can't be stupid. Only the people who buy Vista are
doing something stupid, except, of course, repair techs so they can help
the people who stupidly bought it.
