Ubuntu Linux
So I just loaded Ubuntu on to my laptop, and was quite surprised. All the hype from you linux guys made me think I was going to see the messiah on my screen when it popped up. But to my amazement, I saw what looked to me like windows 3.1. What a load of cow dung. The darn thing was sluggish, unappealing came with no features (I only assume that one has to comb the internet for open source add-ons in order to get what he needs), and the linux version of office is a joke. The macro capabilities are quite dificient. I just don't see the benifit in waiting for linux to catch up with microsoft. But, I don't begrudge you linux guys doing it. I say, "Enjoy your Windows 3.1, while I am using Windows Vista!"
