A Week? Really?:) Why did you format it in the first place?
Why did you setup a restore image in the first place created on the Windows clean installation?
And the last time I did Upgrade Version on Ubuntu, it took an hour just to download the new files.
I have really no problem your post and have used Ubuntu desktop with success in the past, but it just irks me how much GNU/Linux people bend the truth when pushing their agenda. Or maybe they really just don't know any better than just to "format and reinstall" on Windows.
Of course they care. XP is their product and they want people to still use, because they get money from it. The whole deadline dance is just a way to push people to Vista. MS never had any intention to really cut XP off, that would be insane.
You do know you can turn all that off in Chrome? Oh wait, no you did not:) Oh well, +5 insightful for you anyway... You would get better privacy, if you did not use Google at all, btw. It saves and indexes your searches anyway.
It's far easier to whine than to praise. Sure, some people have trouble but most don't. Guess which group gets more attention?
Of course, when Windows 7 gets rolled out, things will change. Then people have a new Microsoft OS to complain about so it's A OK then to say good things about Vista:) Just like Windows 2000 suddenly became great after XP was released.

In the Estonian case, it is rumored they used DDOS attack as an excuse to shut down the exchange market for a few days to stop selling stock short a few months ago during great stock fluctuations
If you're a pro who doesn't mind picking up a new language every once in a while, why the hell would you write the application so they would be bound to GNU/Linux platform?
If you use the standard ANSI C and C++ libraries, why in the world would you write platform specific code? Unless you really have to, like for a device driver.
There's no "better side" like Linux. If you're REALLY a pro you will agree. Operating systems are just platforms and tools like libraries and languages.
At least Azureus has builtin UPNP support, which has always worked for me even with my el cheapo $25 Cable modem/wireless station/router... I wonder if that would solve it. In fact, I think Azureus has had this kind of feature as a plugin for years...
Yeah, that's true but i7 is considered pretty much high end now.
In my perspective it seems Microsoft wants Windows 7 to run on a simple motherboard without dedicated gfx hardware of any kind. Maybe just a mapped frame buffer and video out interfaces. Which makes sense to me, because everyone knows integrated gfx chips aren't actually very good for other than running Aero... So why include them in a strictly office PC in the first place, if the CPU can cope without it.
Do you have any idea how little for example newer generation Intel CPUs draw power, when compared to their earlier chips? 33 watts for E8400 on full blast. Yeah, try that for an electric chair. It warms nicely, but does not really fry the bacon.
Well, Bittorrent is mainly used for pirating warez'n' stuff, while the devices you mentioned are mainly used for watching and listening content.
Besides (you dumbass), it's NOT A CRIME in most countries to actually download warez! I don't know if it's a crime even in the US. Sure, you can get sued by media companies, because they claim you cause them damages, but the official authorities got nothing on you ON THE ACTUAL ACT OF DOWNLOADING or using Bittorrent or whatever.
You could argue X Window systems are not really a suitable platform for a completely local desktop machine, and never was meant to be. In which case Windows XP is a better desktop OS by architectural design than Ubuntu, for example.
Yeah... And think how long will it take to create them new identities, as their old ones may have been stolen... Poor people, it must feel awfully empty inside when your identity is stolen. It takes a life time to build up, after all.

I have a photocopier - why should I be prevented from copying money with it?

Wow, he already answered the question himself:

Spring it is!

Yes and again, how is this RIAA's fault? How could they possibly know she is in the hospital?

So why would you pay a US company for the VPN and download warez, when you could go to a store and buy the warez legally with the money? :)

Is the plugin called "To-be busted by the RIAA" plugin?
Yeah, that's true but i7 is considered pretty much high end now.

My mistake, it draw 65 watts... Still that's quite low.

Well yes, if the 9/11 terrorists bought their explosives and guns from the said Jews, Catholic Church and the Masons.
:)
But like you said, a wild leap of logic indeed
Really? Like, I dunno, laws against klling people and selling drugs?
Well, Bittorrent IS pretty much a magical piracy device, it's just used also for legal content. Not the other way around.
Uh, so first you declare the old business models dead, and then say you DID buy the DVD?
:)
Did the old business models just drop dead, after you bought it?

Well, luck is easy to come by, you just need a potion of holy water and a correct type of grey stone...
You don't want a Ubuntu comparison to XP. XP beats Ubuntu hands down in speed with the same hardware. In boot times and in regular desktop use.
