Windows 7 vs. Ubuntu 10.04

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the race-is-on dept.

Barence writes "PC Pro has performed a comprehensive test of Windows 7 vs Ubuntu 10.04. They've tested and scored the two operating systems on a number of criteria, including usability, bundled apps, performance, compatibility and business. The final result is much closer than you might expect. 'Ubuntu is clearly an operating system on the rise,' PC Pro concludes. 'If we repeat this feature in a year's time, will it have closed the gap? We wouldn't bet against it.'"

    So the 40-odd system processes in the background just STOP ?

    I'm amazed you are able to even move your mouse or click anything if the kernel is not getting ANY processor time.

    Oh, my bad, you're just full of bullshit.
