Can you run windows applications on Ubuntu?
This is one of the weakest articles I have read in a long long time. Either that or it’s a parody and I missed the humor.
Downgrade to Windows 95?
Haha, sure if you don’t like using Flash, Java or most web based programs. Or, well Firefox at all. Most websites will not load because they require updated versions of the above.
Funny parody
Awesome article, thanks
hehehehe...
However in the real world...
My Quadcore Q6600 with 3 gig of RAM and running Windows Vista Business Ultimate is 21 seconds from the time I push the button to the time I have a usable desktop! Yes I have AVG antivirus installed and also Spybot Search and Destroy. I certainly don’t expect the “average” user to know how to customize the profile to accomplish this but it can be done with mainstream hardware.
I really like SuSE, though. It's odd when I realize I haven't booted my laptop to Windows for a week or two.
Good advice, but I prefer to use Windows 98se. It really screams on a Phenom with 4GB RAM!
Step 1.: Hire a techno geek to select the “distro”, download it, install it for you, configure it, buy new hardware because that “distro” doesn’t support your hardware, reconfigure the system, show you how to use it as everything is non-standard, etc.
Step 2: Repeat, because your “distro” producer was so last week and is no longer in business.
Tech humor is a tenuous art at best. When it’s bad (unfunny) it’s very bad.
I can’t switch over to Linux — Linux makes me think about Ubuntu, which makes me think about Africa, which makes me think about the World Cup, which makes me think about vuvuzelas, which gives me a screaming headache...
Actually, Windows 7 is already beating Ubuntu 10 on many benchmarks. As usual, YMMV depending on your specific software and hardware.
Question? While online I receive the Upgrade to Internet Explorer 8. Is it worth it?
