and you can download the new Ubuntu, Karmic Koala, Ubuntu 9.10 from
[url]http://www.ubuntu.com/[/url] and it's free and comes with access to thousands
of free programs!

What you can do with Ubuntu:

Email
Surf the web
Burn CDs.
Rip CDs.
Listen to music using the computer.
Watch vidoes/DVDs.
Scan and print.
Spreadsheets.
Presentations
Newsgroups.
HTML editing.
Games like Chess, Tetris, all kinds of solitaire, etc.
Make videos.
Download photos from a camera and organize them.
Translations from one language to another.
Use a dictionary program that's much faster than using a book
Learn how to touch type with a touch type learning program.
Edit images.
Send and receive a fax.
Take screenshots.
Create .PDF files.
Create and use a data base.
Instant messaging with over 10 different programs in one including
Windows Live Messenger.
IRC.
Bluetooth.

and much more!

What you can't do with Ubuntu:

Worry about:
WPA and WGA raising their ugly heads,
DRM,
Viruses,
Root kits,
Spyware,
and
Malware.

The reasons that Ubuntu is more secure than Windows are twofold:

1. When *anything* in Ubuntu needs updating or patching, it all comes
from the same source and a little orange star appears when any updates
or patches are available. It's a known fact that anti virus apps and
anti malware apps can only deal with nasties that are known, not the new
ones. Hence, it is very important to be updated or patched and not just
the operating system but everything that is installed on the computer.
Windows has no central updating source and the user has to be checking
constantly for updates to their programs or face the possibility of
being compromised.

2. In Ubuntu, when anything wants to install, you have to key in your
password. With Windows, you have to click on "OK" or nothing at all as
is evidenced by drive by malware. Unlike Windows, the Linux kernel is
not intertwined with a browser like Windows is with Internet Explorer
and the kernel is kept away and protected from the user account.

You don't need to wait 11 days to download that turd.
You can download it now.
The current turd isn't any worse than the future turd.

Not a valid statistic when you consider how Micro**** strong arms OEMs.
Shall we compare Windows 7 installs that are NOT preninstalled by an OEM
to Ubuntu installs or would that be too scary for you?

Those numbers will still be higher than Ubuntu numbers. Microsoft will sell
more copies in a day than poor saps downloading Ubuntu in two years.

If you could come up with a reliable ubuntu install base, sure.
But you can't, cause Canonical won't count them.
They are too busy counting all the unsold mugs and t-shirts.
Pity.

Yes, they do, over 10,000,000 and counting.

I don't care for the mugs or t-shirts either but you're trotting out a
straw man again. In fact, I don't care for the name or the default
colors either. I think Portals would be better and I have my theme set
to "Glossy".

You can predict the future by examining the past. I am speaking about one
topic only, the Windows 7 product. I need to explain this to you so you
don't say something else stupid about my initial statement.

Didn't say none. You have reading comprehension problems again. Normal

Post a link, please.
Last I read, they feel it violates users rights.
They don't count them.
If they did, fingers would suffice.

Microsoft has been around since 1975. They have many successful products
and a few dogs. Windows ME was a dog and Windows 7 is a winner. Get use to
it.

Ubuntu has always been a dog and will continue to be a dog. They have to
release a new version every 6 months to fix the hundreds, if not thousands
of bugs they release because all the programmers working on that INFERIOR
product are working for free.

There is no incentive to do a good job, therefore they don't.

Ubuntu was written by geeks for geeks.

Ubuntu is on less than one percent of the desktops and that says volumes
about that crappy OS.
