LOL http://www.vistaforums.com/Forum/Forum45-1.aspx Just took a look at the great Vista. This is just one of the many forums, and only one of the many, many pages on that forum. I really am glad I am running Ubuntu. Natasha. Nobrain?

LOL Yes. You should do that. You should also peruse this group and note the number of folks STILL having problems with vista after nearly a year and a half. > http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=333&order=desc&page=2 > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > Should I go over there and tell them to use Vista or XP like whats his name > is doing here? LOL Hardy is running fine on my machines and a few others that I have installed it on. What, exactly, are YOU having problems with?

I suppose you could spend your valuable time solving the problems of poor souls those who are struggling with this precious crap system called vista. As for me, I am extremely happy with this fantastic OS of Ubuntu. >> http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=333&order=desc&page=2 >> [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > struggling with this precious crap system called vista. As for me, I am > extremely happy with this fantastic OS of Ubuntu. What I don't understand is why ubuntites spend so much time here if they don't care for vista, instead of helping those poor flapping souls solve their ubuntu problems. As justbob below kindly pointed out some 70+% users are having major problems and judging from the posts on the forum a new problem surfaces every minute. And that's just one forum. So please go over to that forum and put your 20% knowledge to good use and help solve those problems. I am sure they would be very appreciative Over and out!

That answer for myself is easy, to dispel the anti-Linux FUD and BS. As well to express my feeling ripped off with Vista. While Vista looks pretty, it's performance is like a handicapped snail. Most of the Vista/MS fan-boys here can't help with anything, but line up at bashing Ubuntu (and others) for posturing. Nothing wrong with Ubuntu at all. Bet MS even steals the X-Windows+Tab button feature. Nice touch and fast. >>What I don't understand is why ubuntites spend so much time here if they >>don't care for vista, instead of helping those poor flapping souls solve [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > That answer for myself is easy, to dispel the anti-Linux FUD and BS. IOW's you're just a fukkin liar, right? You're just another lying linux troll. I think we all already figured that one out. You're not that bright.

While Vista looks > pretty, it's performance is like a handicapped snail. And you think people want to hear your babblings why? Again, as stated it is NOT anyone's fault but your own that you cannot even set an OS up and make it work correctly. I and others make it work perfectly well, with great speed, and I don't even have a top of the line system. Don't blame others for YOUR incompetence. > Most of the Vista/MS fan-boys here can't help with anything, but line up > at bashing Ubuntu (and others) for posturing.

Every time you start babbling all you do is reinforce the proof of how incompetent you truly are. Here's a suggestion. When you actually get a little competence, and get set a decent system up, come back and talk to the grown ups.

I have seldom seen any solutions provided by the vista supporters club members except a few handful of MVPs genuinely trying to solve the problems of the long suffering vista users. Whenever someone raises any query on this pretty little thing,all the members of this elite club jump on them and tell these people to go to Ubuntu. They defend this vista without accepting it's short comings and insult the user. You could learn a thing or two if you regularly visit the Ubuntu forums, things like how helpful they are. I know it is a sharp learning curve but you could try. >> http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=333&order=desc&page=2 >> [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > struggling with this precious crap system called vista.

SignatureMike Hall - MVP How to construct a good post.. http://dts-l.com/goodpost.htm How to use the Microsoft Product Support Newsgroups.. http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?pr=newswhelp&style=toc Mike's Window - My Blog.. http://msmvps.com/blogs/mikehall/default.aspx You know I try to stay as far away with anything UBANTU as possible, but, I followed your link to that group.....Interesting reading, looks like, according to their own poll: More people are having trouble with the install than not: 76.42 had problems from minor to serious. It worked well for 23.86% of the responders. The form had about 800 topics 4 days or less old..... What would you be calling Vista with that kind of problem rate? Yes, I am sure some of you are happy with UBANTU (about 23.86%) but, I have had no major problems with Vista, a couple of minor problems and am, frankly, very happy with it. My suggestion for all the pro UBANTU, VISTA bashers is go to your own groups, your help is badly needed there. View Poll Results: What was your gutsy install/upgrade experience ? Upgrade - worked flawlessly 67 13.32% Upgrade - worked but had few things to solve 148 29.42% Upgrade - got many problems which i've not been able to solve 85 16.90% Install - worked flawlessly 53 10.54% Install - worked but had few things to solve 63 12.52% Install - got many problems which i've not been able to solve 87 17.30% Voters: 503.

LOL And they complain about Vista?? Ill stick with Vista, it runs goods and I evern like it.

LOL So...........you decided that it sucks by reading a forum where people go to get help ? Did you d/l the live CD and try it ? Of course, that runs slow anyway, from the CD, but it will show if it detects all of your hardware and will install properly. And if so, do an install to a spare HD and try it for real. My guess is it would *most likely* install and work fine, you'd mess around with it for an hour or 2, but since it is different from Vista, and not wanting to get used to something else, you'd just drop it there. Or are you like some of the others, condemn without ever even giving it an honest shot ? I have snipped most of your post, I am just wondering how/why UBANTU is being judged differently than Vista... a couple of points you make are "> So...........you decided that it sucks by reading a forum where people go > to get help ?

So you are saying it is just too much effort to learn a new OS? > Or are you like some of the others, condemn without ever even giving it > an honest shot ? Actually, I did, I did not care for it, could not find my music, photos, internet connection or a great many other things...even at that, I never said it Sucks, I said I DID NOT CARE FOR IT. I have not suggested you drop UBANTU for VISTA, that is YOUR decision, just as VISTA is MY decision but, I am suggesting that since you have a perfect UBANTU install, your time may be better spent on the VERY ACTIVE UBANTU group helping people that, like you, prefer UBANTU. > I have snipped most of your post, I am just wondering how/why UBANTU > is being judged differently than Vista... a couple of points you make [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > Like this one for VISTA? Yes. It's OK to judge a Linux distro by a support forum, but not Vista ? >> My guess is it would *most likely* install and work fine, you'd mess >> around with it for an hour or 2, but since it is different from >> Vista, and not wanting to get used to something else, you'd just drop >> it there. > > So you are saying it is just too much effort to learn a new OS?

I didn't say I prefer it. I do use it sometimes. But you know what, I can't really help anyone with it as I know very little compared to my Windows knowledge. >> http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=333&order=desc&page=2 >> [quoted text clipped - 22 lines] > Or are you like some of the others, condemn without ever even giving it > an honest shot ? Yes thanks for that its page 2..the complaints were coming in so fast! And where did I say it sucks or condemn it??? If anything sucks and needs condemning it would be the idiotic ignorant ubuntuites around here People come here , vista, for help and get bombarded by ubuntuites and their silly stupid remarks Hope you will point them in the right direction as well > http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=333&order=desc&page=2 > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > Should I go over there and tell them to use Vista or XP like whats his > name is doing here? LOL No. You should hold yourself to a higher standard. C.B. SignatureIt is the responsibility and duty of everyone to help the underprivileged and unfortunate among us. |
