Is Ubuntu a copmplete system

Is it or not?
1.Open Office
2.Compiz Fusion
3.Emerald Theme Manager
And with many more FREE utilities future looks UBUNTU.
Its very sad that I am unable to do even a simple task such as surfing
without interruption with my Vista laptop(which looks pathetic with an
ancient look).
When will you grow up Vista?

Compiz and Emerald lock up the system all the time.
Neither "look" good.
Ever notice how many "Vista" themes are available ?
Pretty much says how good Vista looks, immitation being the best form of
flattery.

Looks wise, Vista wins, no contest.

Personal attacks on my wife ( quite a pretty piggy) only show you lie.

Like I said, beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. What is a pig with
lipstick to one person is a "pretty piggy" to others.

No brown or orange on my machine. Oops.

Um, Shakespeare wasn't an Existentialist. Try Sartre, Camus, Heidegger,
Kierkegaard and Nietzsche.

I don't smoke pot.

Why not? It's fun pointing out how clueless you are.

If you can't surf with a Vista laptop, then you can't surf with a Linux box
either..

Maybe on your computer they do, but they don't on mine. Actually, with
only a 1Ghz Athlon CPU w/512M of RAM, and an old 64M GeForce4 vid card,
I'm was actually shocked initially by how well the very few transitions
and effects I have set work. Stardock's WinFX is not even usable on that
PC.

> Neither "look" good.

Most likely not as many as are available for the every other desktop
environment.

And certainly not from MS.

Themeing a UI is nothing new. And certainly was not provided by MS prior
to WindowsXP. It took a third party app to 'theme' earlier Windows
versions, Stardock's WindowBlinds, which may or may not have been buggy
depending on your h/w and s/w configuration. The early version's of that
sucked.

Being able to 'theme' your UI was initially available on for Unix
variants under the name of NextStep developed by NeXT.

(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NeXTSTEP)

Then AfterStep (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Afterstep), which was based
on NextStep. Granted, to edit a theme you had to manually edit the
step.rc file, but a themeing engine none the less.

LiteStep, a windows port of AfterStep, was released to the public in 1998
as a (complete) Windows shell replacement which allows you to completely
change the look and feel of the OS. LiteStep was the first to offer
multiple desktops for Windows also.

There is even a LiteStep section @ WinCustomize.com..if you can take a
minute to look: http://www.wincustomize.com/skins.aspx?libid=6

Hmmmm.....seems to be a commercial version of *step called WinStep.
Yet *another* third party that offers a very much improved and flexible
theming engine for Windows.

Yes....have a look here:

Maybe, when a third-party piece of s/w is involved.

Funny Video.
Notice ... linux can do almost NONE of that.

Try gnuchess in 3D !
When you stop laughing, you'll realize linux is pretty new to graphics.
It misses the CLI ... wants to stay there.
