You know, that pretty much sums up my last installation-trip with Windows. Had to install extra video drivers, sound drivers - manually install drivers for pretty much anything. My iPod, my mobile phones - everything. It took me several hours to get a working install last time I tried - this was with Windows XP.
When I popped in my Ubuntu Gutsy 7.10-disc, I had a working system 45 minutes later.
Which one is the user friendly one? Anyone can have a bad experience with an OS - that doesn't nescessarily speak for everyone who uses that OS.
How is Ubuntu Linux not better than Windows? Because it doesn't run software not written for that platform natively?
Surely Ubuntu is a better system. Fast, stable and secure - and nothing is locked and denied access to, so that users who want to explore the system and make it their own can do that - while the ones who doesn't can just use it as it is.
When my technically illiterate parents can use Ubuntu, everyone can.
I don't recognize the "Linux isn't catching on"-argument. I do a lot of support and promoting work regarding the Ubuntu-distribution, and as far as I can tell, its use is skyrocketing - and not just in Linux-circles. Surely it is mostly open-minded people who are going to be interested in changing from CradleOS to something new, but there are a lot of these - and the fact that they are realising that CradleOS is a flawed system helps it along quite well.
Linux is gaining in the desktop-market. It's no longer a question about when - it's a question about how fast.
There are plenty of good reasons. Surely it can't be as easy to set up games in Linux for Windows, as it must be in Windows - the platform for which the games are written - yet, an amazing amount of Vista-users who replied to this article explains how they have to run as admin, change compability modes, and so forth - shouldn't WIndows-games simply run in Windows?

Have a look at yelvinton's comment. Apparently Youtube is down globally.
They're boycotting danish flash videos! More bandwidth for meee.
No wonder there are so many moving to Linux. Compiz makes Aero look dated, and as for security..
Apparently Microsoft are Linux zealots, then. http://www.microsoft.com/canada/midsizebusiness/businessvalue/local/desktopupgrade.mspx Please to stop nonsense generalising kthx.
Mm. Nonsense-generalising makes the world go round. Be sure to check for virusses installed while you wrote your message.

You ain't paranoid unless you use AmigaOS for safe browsing.
This is surely bad news for Wikipedia's dairy-articles.
Glad to see they didn't try to bribe anyone. Two kroner just doesn't buy as much for them as it does for the average danish consumer.
Now I have an actual excuse to buy that secluded mountain-forest cottage and try out satellite internet.
Just a second? You aren't thinking big enough. Four. Or six, that's the way.
