I'm using Gutsy (Ubuntu 7.10) and it's great. Plus you don't have to ditch out hundreds of dollars for an OS. It runs great on my machine, can't really complain about anything. I have it running for 2 months without any restarts:D Sweet:-)
Gutsy has a lot of problems... It's not ready for prime time. I'm having problems with wireless... It works, but it's not as stable as Feisty 7.04... Hopefully they'll iron it out by the lts release of 8.04 Hardy Heron
Making such faulty predictions without any reasonable examples of how these predictions will come to be is nonsense!
First of all the Internet does not guarantee reliability so most real-time Internet applications are slow, because packets are dropped by the routers within the host client pipe. So would you want to drag a courser on your screen and see this operations only 5 seconds after you have performed it? Probably not.
Secondly, there are security issues that many have pointed out with this kind of thin client server architecture.
Thirdly, it will be very difficult to migrate all the current 3rd party software that is running on windows to this new architecture.
First off, there is hardly any music worth downloading nowadays. Secondly I will not sacrifice my health for some cheesy song by Spears. But most people are gullible enough to sacrifice their health for music, so all I can do is send these naive folks my deepest condolences.
