Ubuntu 8.10 Outperforms Windows Vista

Posted by timothy on from the windows-probably-runs-more-windows-apps dept.

Anonymous writes "By now a lot has been reported on the new features and improvements in Ubuntu 8.10; it also looks like the OS is outperforming Vista in early benchmarking (Geekbench, boot times, etc.) At what point does this start to make a difference in the market place?" (And though there are lot of ways to benchmark computers, Ubuntu 8.10 with Compiz Fusion is certainly prettier on my Eee than the Windows XP that it came with.)

    Linux is not GNU. GNU is not Ubuntu. Ubuntu is not Linux.

    Better luck next time.
