Another Advantage of Ubuntu over Windows

Ubuntu gets 20% faster Internet download speeds compared to XP Pro and
30% faster if compared to the Vista virus.

Do you want to state under what circumstances that is or is it just more BS?

BTW I max out my 15M DSL connection on whatever OS I use so it certainly
isn't true for me.

I used the *same* machine that is dual booting XP and Gutsy. I have down
it dozens of times and the results are *always* the same, 20% faster
using Gutsy. I have another machine, dual booting XP and Feisty and it
gets the same results. I posted this on the Ubuntu group and everyone
there also gets the same results.

Well if everyone gets the same results I think its safe to put it down as
bull sh!t.
It would be near impossible for two to get the same results, for lots then
it has to be lies.

Well, count me as one that doesn't get these results.

I'm dual booting Vista and Ubuntu 7.10 and using any speed-test or simply
using my own eyes to watch the average rate I get about 600 KB/s, on either
OS.

Since my cable is a 6 Mb connection that's about what I expect to see.

On my other computer that's only running Gentoo I still see no added speed
for downloads.

You'll also notice that I post to these groups from a Windows machine,
that's because the other computers are for support only, I've tried going
100% Linux in the past and always find myself back in Windows due to the
fact that I just can't get all my work done using any Linux OS, including
Ubuntu, Red Hat, Gentoo (the one I like best) SuZe, and a few others that
I've tried, but that's just me, anyone that likes it, that's great, I'm not
going to try to convert anyone either way.

Use what works for you.

Well, not "exact" results but similar results. Whether you believe me or
not is not relevant as you never believe anything I say. When I posted
from Ubuntu, you accused me of modifying my headers which, of course, I
didn't do.

In short, bugger off.

I haven't tried it with Vista vs. Ubuntu, just XP.

Using Ubuntu Is Like Going Back 5 Years. Most Of My Programs Run On
Windows. I Don't Like The Idea Of Having To Type In Commands. Ubuntu Is A
Joke. Just FYI.

I Like XP Better Than Vista RTM. Just FYI

More anecdotal lies form our resident liar.
