Are you FUKKING Kidding? Ubuntu is only good for E-Mail, Web Surfing,
and writing a simple letter to your MAMA! If you want to do REAL
work, use Windows XP or Vista. That is where the powerhouse works!
Ubuntu only has a small marketshare and for being a FREE product you
would think that it would have penitrated the market better. Go
figure. A FREE product that NOBODY wants. Must be a piece of crap.

Yes, Ubuntu is a Piece of Crap for Most people. Only those who want
to do just the basic tasks, Ubuntu is just fine.

Have a reading comprehension problem, eh? If you scroll up you will see
a long list of things that can be done with Ubuntu. Course, you have
admitted you're too stupid to install Ubuntu so we are subjected to your
lying sour grapes. Get over it and learn how to install Ubuntu so you
can intelligently make a comment.

Again, you are the one with comprehension problems. I keep telling you time
and time again that I Have successfully installed and used Ubuntu. Ubuntu
won't run the majority of the popular programs out there. Who needs some
free cheap knock off that is crippled? Not me or NOT most of the users out
there.

What I did find that Ubuntu is not worth a crap. No wonder, the product is
FREE and has a very small following on the desktop. What you don't
understand is that fact. You just have blinders on. You think Ubuntu is
the greatest thing since sliced bread. Guess what? For business users who
need to be compatable with MS, Ubuntu just doesn't cut it.

You go on playing with that TOY OS and the OpenSores Orafice. Good for you.
But for the rest of us who need to get real work done, we will stick with
Microsoft.

Now go back to your farm and tend to your SHEEP

I don't want to get into 'pissing match', but I've used Ubuntu and Linspire
which used to use Debian but has switched to Ubuntu and none of the various
versions of Linux suit me. The biggest draw back is scanning ability. There
are relatively few scanners that work with any Linux variant. I couldn't get
a Plustek scanner that was supposed to work in Linux to work and I'm not
aware of any HP scanners that work in Linux.

Ubuntu does include rudimentary capabilities for many functions but if you
want anything beyond the rudimentary it is difficult to find and more
difficult to install if you aren't a computer geek. Viruses, spyware, etc.
aren't an issue because the installed base isn't worth the the trouble to
try to create havoc. Although I don't have the reference, I read sometime
ago that Linux and/or Apple aren't anymore secure from viruses etc. they are
just secure from Windows directed viruses, etc..

Good list. But incomplete as Ubuntu can do even more. You can always pull
up the package manager and load thousands more. But I know you knew that,
but some readers might not. Runs faster than Vista too.

I don't believe you and here's the proof:

Ubuntu

False.

Ubuntu isn't "crippled", another lie.

Snip lies, profanity, weird sexual fantasies and insults.

Man, then I must be imagining all this REAL work I do with Ubuntu that
has been paying my bills for over a year now!

Why not tell us about the 25,000 free applications that come with
Ubuntu that NOBODY knows about or NOBODY cares about?

REMEMBER: Ubuntu is FREE and NOBODY wants it.

Gotta be a high quality product. Doesn't it?

My HP scanner works fine. Course, I know what program to use in Ubuntu,
do you?

I can see it's been a loooong time since you've used Ubuntu, if, indeed,
you have. You did see the long list of things that Ubuntu can do, did
you not? If not, scroll up.

Snip idiots.

So.... You are looking for weird sexual fantasies? Better migrate to
another forum! Try those alt. forums. I'm sure you can "go to town" over
there.

Must not be making that much money when you are still driving a 1986 Pontiac
Fiero GT! Now if you made money with Microsoft tools you could be driving a
Lexus or Mercedes!
