Vista vs. Ubuntu - final word

Folks, this is a "Vista" NG.
Thus, the main audience is "Vista" users. People who already spent a lot of
money for an operating system, which they do want to use now.
Ubuntu has a clear right of existence in it's area, but not in this group.
If you like it better, fine. But don't try to spread your "religion" here
when someone asks for help about a Vista problem.

In short:
This newsgroup = Vista
alt.os.linux.ubuntu = Ubuntu

KTHXBYE.

Uh, if it's in his genes, it's to late for the toilet paper :>)
Can't believe I replied to this.

No, it's a vista.GENERAL news group.

Who may well be looking for an alternative to the fu*ked up Vista.

And some are looking for alternatives.

Ubuntu is an excellent alternative to Vista.

An OS is not a religion. Where did you get that from?

the fanboys forget (or are unaware) that to define anything, even an OS, you
must contrast it with surrounding elements or in this case other OS.

You cannot define if vista is good or bad, its nice features and its dumb
problems, unless you can compare it with other products. Some are XP, ubuntu
and Mac OS.

If they want us to not compare what they are asking is only for us to praise
vista as a perfect godlike OS that is above any criticism and comparison,
and that aint gonna happen.

Even Microsoft has taken a very good look at ubuntu, and they have copied
some elements from GNOME almost exactly ... lol I was just on ubuntu 8.04
and noticed that when you click on the date (on the panel (like taskbar of
windows) its extremely similar behavior to vista when you do that... even
the graphic when this area is pressed seems similar.

frequenting alt.os.linux.ubuntu.
