yep, we are I wish all those vendors could bundle Ubuntu along with the notebooks and desktops, instead of Windows Vista!! Some vendors like Dell and Lenovo do offer Linux loaded notebooks, but they are not marketed properly

Very true!! I’ve been using Ubuntu for more than 3 years…right from day one of its launch! I was given 40 free copies that were shipped directly from the UK!! Though there were problems with it, I believe the latest version of Ubuntu is just too good to realize that you are using Linux It even detected my friend’s Tata Indicom data card (not as some generic device!!).

It is very user friendly, and MS lovers calling Linux non-user friendly doesn’t hold much water nowadays! I’m said that I’m not supposed to install Ubuntu on my office notebook

Hi Naren Welcome to the world of Ubuntu
It a Vista killer ‘I am using superlatives ’ (no I dont wat to seduce you as it has its own problems)
All I can say is that I am using Linux for years now, no virus, no bloat-ware, I compile my own optimized software which runs 50 to 70 times faster then pre-compiled ones.

My laptop battery runs 30 to 40 percent more than XP-Home on Ubuntu because of better CPU scaling and multitasking.
Vista home is also fast but not optimized at the core level Cpu scaling, multitasking etc. and I think high power usage is due to NTFS limitations. Linux ext3 is a very advanced file system, very fast, I think second fastest (after ReiserFS) and at the same time is quite reliable and never fragments, so you never need to use a defrager.
It also holds the record of second longest running server after Unix.
There is an good comparison on wiki

“But with 4gb ram Vista works fine” – Yeah, just fine! 4GB to open ‘My Computer’ ‘My network Places’, ‘My Pictures’?!?!

Yeah right Nick! I just didn’t want to use the word ‘hate’ as it is too strong a word I used to wonder, they spent more than 5 years in developing this silly OS – why didn’t they put it to sufficient testing before releasing it to the public!?! I believe the only useful feature is the ’start menu’-integrated search.
