The new Ubuntu is here!

I hear they have shed out some 20,000,000 copies already. At this rate, it
will be overtaking Windows 7.

I told you my countdown would not be for nothing! It worked a treat and and
everybody has listened to me.

By doing it in a Vista forum, I must have converted at least half the people
in here, so it was all worthwhile.

Joy to the world!

Five years and Ubuntu will be on all PCs.

Rock'n'roll

Well, you didn't convert me! :-D

I did some research, but I'm just not interest enough to take the time
needed to learn how to install and use it, or decipher the programs that
will run on it.

Thanks, but no thanks. I'll stick with familiar Vista!

Was it? Shoot! It's hard to keep up with which identical screennames are
the genuine originals around here. I guess I'm going to have to modify
my viewed header options to tell everyone apart.

I've got a better idea. Why don't you just leave and never return?

If anybody used KristleBawl as their name, then that would it is illegal.

You should call Charlie Tame and the police, 911 or 999. Charlie has a nice
big helmet!

Rubbish! Linux distributions in general have MORE hardware support than
Windows, at least until Windows 7 came along...

Rubbish! It didn't have what the OP was looking for and that's all that
counts. The user was not happy.

I lol'd when I read that. You clearly have never actually tried Linux >.<

Running it now mate, as we speak.....not on this machine but on my Netbook
which is open beside me..... I /have/ run it on this machine, and have used
Linux on and off ever since the mid nineties.
Perhaps it's YOU who have never tried Linux... your silly statement would
tend towards that scenario...

Someone who labels someone else's practical and logical opinion as "rubbish!"
Should not preach to others about writing "silly statements". Hypocrite much?

Perhaps the only over embellishment I made was about "next to no". But when
you can't get get just 1 simple printer talking properly with the OS (and
even if you do you still lose a host of advance features because the
manufactuer gives only the token gesture of just a driver that doesn't work
properly anyway) than one mask ask oneself - is it practical? Answer is
emphatic: No.

That's not to say I dislike linux (read original post) but its the realsitic
world we live in. If you refuse to see that and live in denial - that's your
perrogative.

I believe "vista succubus Hunter" would agree.

That's just one out of thousands then.....that does NOT constitute "no
hardware support".
