Hi Guys,
I found this very interesting subject and would like to share with you
all(I
hope you don't mind at all)
Well shithead, we DO Mind. In case you didn't notice, this is a Vista
forum not an OpenSores forum.

OpenOffice (instead of $300 MS Office)
Evolution Mail (instead of $100 Outlook)
Note: Thunderbird is available in add/remove
Gimp (instead of $90 Photoshop Elements)
Rythmbox (instead of iTunes)
Pidgin (instead of MSN Messenger)
Brasero CD/DVD burning (instead of Nero)
Ubuntu (instead of $240 Windows Vista)
Ubuntu is for geeks who have nothing better to do then play with their
computers. If you need to get any real work done, you need a REAL OS.
Not some piece of *** that Alias likes to preach about.
Think about this: UBUNTU IS FREE and NOBODY WANTS IT. That should tell
you all you need to know about it. Imagine if Ubuntu and OpenSores
software actually worked, it would be on 99% of the machines out there.
IT ISN'T. A Free product that NOBODY WANTS.
Now shove your head up Ringmaster's ass where it belongs.
You have obviously never installed Vista from scratch have you?
Takes about 6 hours - patch after patch and reboots. Then SP1 and more
reboots and patches.
Ubuntu patches up to date in one pass. And even if you don't patch it
works.
6 hours ?
With a 56 K modem ?
Nope, 10M down, commercial connection.
Then it doesn't take 6 hours, and you are showing yourself as a lying linux
troll !
At my DSL speed, it takes less than an hour.
Then the ubuntu 200 M update will also take as long.
Not long, 20-30 minutes and one reboot.
The ubuntu patch will include kernel update....which needs a reboot !
You people either know nothing, or just outright lie !
Huh? I know it needs a reboot. But Vista needs about 12 of them if the
media is only one year old. Which is a good chunk of the time.
I reinstalled a pre-sp1 Vista (thanks to wishing to nuke ubuntu) ... and it
required 2 reboots and about 90 minutes DL time including Office 2007
updates.
Hardly the 6 hour , 12 reboot cycle you just "completely made up"
Or, you have no friggen idea what you are doing.
Either way, your point was moot.
You should have quit before you made a total ass of yourself. It
doesn't matter how fast your ISP connection is if the site you are
downloading from is overloaded which is COMMON for the Microsoft site
when they first put up a version of some major upgrade like SP1 or
just release a beta of something.
How fast it takes to install Vista from scratch from a DVD depends on
many factors. It took some wannabe expert like you 90 minutes? I did
it in less than 40 and was up and running.
Just admit you don't have a clue. I haven't seen a fanboy posting here
yet that did. That's why it is always entertaining to slap you dummies
around for amusement value.
