Linux will run lots of popular programs, just not the ones that are popular
with YOU.
We do real work with it every day.

Ubuntu has many functional programs and utilities while the Crap vista has
many dysfunctional programs included with it and one of the culprits is IE(if
you want to go to sleep don't take any sleeping tablets,start the IE and you
will be fast asleep in no time).

Firefox, Opera, and Thunderbird are 3 fairly popular programs that Ubuntu
will run.

LimeWire is popular also. Nero too.

Shall I go on ?

No, as complicated as you like.

Easier than Windows.

Easier than Windows.

I use Amarok and it works great.

I watch DVD/Videos all the time with Ubuntu.

Yep and it took three clicks to install it, no CD necessary.

Try to keep up. Not true anymore.

And any other image you want to use.

Ubuntu

Not the main thing I do with Ubuntu by any stretch of the imagination
but the fact that you gotta get personal writes tomes about your "argument".

A lot more than that can be done.

True, Windows, the Toy Operating System, is better for gaming. But it
isn't Linux' fault that the game makers don't port the games to Linux.

Not on my system.

So?

No, dumbfuck, Ubuntu comes with a great translator program.

> Use a dictionary - You need a dictionary to figure out the Ubuntu

YOU do. I don't. Ubuntu comes in just about any language you want.

> Learn how to touch type. - Funny, a keyboard can do that.

No, a keyboard can't teach you anything.

Some people want to edit images.

Can't exactly receive the fax into the OS so that you can email it to
someone, now can you?

Or anyone you like.

Not an Adobe program.

Many people use IM programs.

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.
