AI James Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 hmm i'll have to look into this it seems. ive had no issues with vista but faster is better either way imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KoolDrew Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 i figured it would be similar to vista. i mean, how much can they change? hope it does come out in april. I agree. It's similiar to Windows 2000 vs XP. Two very similiar OS's, but XP did have improvements. WWindows 7 is the OS Microsoft wanted to release, Vista was just a stepping stone. plus it doesnt get any easier than an exe file. I disagree. In ubuntu all you have to do is type "apt-get" followed by the name of the program and it's automatically downloaded, automatically installed, everything. It's incredibly easy. Windows, on the other hand, you have to download the exe manually, hit next, next, next, i agree, next next..... finish. Both are easy, but once you get the hang of a specific linux distro (apt-get is specific to debian distros) you'll find it makes a lot more sense then Windows and isn't really difficult at all. It's just hard to change since most of us have used Windows for years. I still use Windows to this day though, just way better compatibility for games and other software.

Slinky Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 see thats the thing. i dont want to have to type in dumb commands like that. its easier for me to just double click a file and install it that way. plus ive used linux programs and they are very very basic compared to windows programs, like windows media player vs whatever i used in linux. but i guess if someone "grew up" using linux, they may like it better. its all a matter of opinion.

KoolDrew Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 plus ive used linux programs and they are very very basic compared to windows programs, like windows media player vs whatever i used in linux. The thing with most programs on linux is that they are very highly customizable, unlike most Windows applications. The features usually aren't as "in your face," but if you start digging deep there is a lot to be done and the program can be altered to suit your needs. Not saying there isn't programs like that on Windows because they are, but generally open source software is like that. That's why I usually stick to open source software on Windows, with the exception of big ones like Adobe Photoshop. but i guess if someone "grew up" using linux, they may like it better. its all a matter of opinion. Exactly. The persons needs are important as well. For example, if somebody likes playing the latest and greatest PC games linux would be their last choice. Simply not enough support for such software. Also, I think you mentioned speed and on modern hardware it would likely be faster, but the hardware requirements are much less for a linux distro. Depending on the desktop environment being used you can install it on some pretty basic hardware. For example, my mom has a older Dell with a P4 @ 1.8GHz and only 256MB of RAM. I installed Ubuntu on it because 1) It would run much better than any Windows OS on the dated hardware and 2) security would be much better. I haven't had to fix the computer since it's been on there. In that situation I decided it would be a good choice. Firefox was already installed and since all she does is browse the web, she doesn't really get confused by anything. However, all my machines run Windows Vista.

Slinky Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 ill agree with you there. the hardware requirements are night and day. linux is much more lightweight. however, being a pc gamer, i love me some windows.

The set up your talking about would sound great in my Tahoe. Trade you my dog for it.
