This is your opinion. I have mine. Others have theirs. Unlike you, I
think people should make up their minds themselves as to what they
like or dislike. I also like Macs and XP. My first computer was a
Mac back in 1984.

Your statement was not posted as an "Opinion" it was posted as though
you believe it to be fact and want others to believe it as fact,
which is incorrect.

You can say "I believe Ubuntu is a far superior operating system.",
but you can not say "Ubuntu is a far superior operating system." and
be expected to be believed or honest.

Your postings are misleading.

You were claiming Ubuntu was better before you had even experienced
Vista, and well before you had installed it.

In ever case I've tested with clients, they will take Vista + MS
Office over Ubuntu + Open Office.





That's hardly impartial is it? Why would clients need to employ you if
not to seek your advice. In any case people with unlimited (Company)
funds to spend will always take the easiest option, and those who have
not yet tried Vista will assume it to be easier than Ubuntu.

Let's see, all of our customers are Businesses, not home users, but,
they all interact with Exchange, SQL 2000/2005, medical and accounting
programs and Ubuntu doesn't support that, even with Open Source
applications that provide SOME level of function for Exchange.

Vista, while you have to get better hardware, some newer apps, it works
painlessly, without error, and they only have to learn where to find new
menu items, not how to import/export documents, learn new apps since
none of theirs are supported.....

The cost of a FREE OS is not free when you consider a business that was
not previously running on Open Source.


Using your "logic", they should have never abandoned IBM Selectric
typewriters.
