Vista Vs. Gutsy Gibbon

ricegf writes in with the account of one Rupert Goodwins writing in ZDNet UK. Goodwins has 7 computers running various versions of Windows and Linux, and explains why he chooses to do most of his work on the Gibbon. "So here's the funny thing. I've used Windows since 1.0. I've lived through the bad times of Windows/386 and ME, and the good times of NT 3.51 and 2K. I know XP if not backwards, then with a degree of familiarity that only middle-aged co-dependents can afford each other... Then how come I'm so much more at home with Ubuntu than Vista? It boils down to one abiding impression: Ubuntu goes out of its way to get out of your way... Vista goes out of its way to be Vista and enforce the Vista way."

I'm confused...couldn't you have just dist-upgraded or whatever its called in Ubuntu. I know in my distro (Arch Linux) I just run one command and I'm up to date with the latest release (rolling release system.).

I find it mind-numbingly astounding that someone would format to upgrade their linux distro. Ubuntu really is trying to copy Windows.
