Ubuntu.....

I've switched to Ubuntu now and use windows only for gaming. The funny thing about it is that I find Ubuntu a lot simpler to use than windows. I'm a seasoned windows user who has been dealing with BOSD's and frozen screens for many years, but still, I find even a buggy Ubuntu session better than a relatively bug-free windows session. Let me elaborate......

I work with Ubuntu 7.04 aka Feisty Fawn. After 6.10, I had created a wish-list of what I wanted in the next version of Ubuntu - and surprise, surprise - 7.04 has included everything on the wish-list along with a few features I wanted, but never really mentioned. I run Ubuntu with beryl, with the effects at maximum. I just love it. I can create a presentation in one workspace while checking my mail on another. What's more, I can see both at the same time thanks to the 'skydome'. Personally, I find that openoffice.org beats MS-Office any day. It is reinforced by the fact that while presentations created on Office 2003 have problems when editing on Office XP, there are no such problems if you do it with OO.o, though 2003 is just a cosmetic change over XP.
Now to the windows programs. As I type this, my anti-virus has piped up and told me that it has updated itself. To make matters worse, windows has just realised that I have shortcuts on the desktop that I won't use. It has popped up a bubble asking me to click it if I want to clean the shortcuts. Why does this bloody bugger of windows not understand that it is MY desktop and I will keep it the way I want it.......
Unubutu is nice and quiet in comparison. It does pop up a balloon if updates are available, but all in all, it's a much more pleasurable experience.

So KUDOS UBUNTU!!!!!
