Well shithead, we DO Mind. In case you didn't notice, this is a Vista forum
not an OpenSores forum.

Ubuntu is for geeks who have nothing better to do then play with their
computers. If you need to get any real work done, you need a REAL OS. Not
some piece of SHIT that Alias likes to preach about.

Think about this: UBUNTU IS FREE and NOBODY WANTS IT. That should tell you
all you need to know about it. Imagine if Ubuntu and OpenSores software
actually worked, it would be on 99% of the machines out there. IT ISN'T. A
Free product that NOBODY WANTS.

Now shove your head up Ringmaster's ass where it belongs.

Maybe the OS is FREE but it comes with 60 days support for $12.99! LOL.
Overpriced!

No, of course not. They're selling a *computer* that comes loaded with
*free* software.

I guess you're on your fourth beer now, being as your reply is so stupid.

They figured for $12.99, they could answer the most common support call.
"How do I get this crap off my PC !?"

The fact that you lie about it tells us more about YOU.

No.
Maybe 4th coffee.
Fourth load of laundry.

A proper response for a Vista forum to a linux troll.

Nope, not over prices. Just not as many problems as the other MS-OS has.

You have obviously never installed Vista from scratch have you?

Takes about 6 hours - patch after patch and reboots. Then SP1 and more
reboots and patches.

Ubuntu patches up to date in one pass. And even if you don't patch it
works.

What they are selling is physical install media, a physical box, 60 days
of support and transportation to a retail outlet.

"Store Pickup: Available at most stores"

What's hilarious about that ?

I can download the crap for the cost of wasting one blank CD.
The only support ubuntu requires is using the Vista DVD to overwrite it.

6 hours ?
With a 56 K modem ?

Then the ubuntu 200 M update will also take as long.

The ubuntu patch will include kernel update....which needs a reboot !

You people either know nothing, or just outright lie !

Nope, 10M down, commercial connection.

Not long, 20-30 minutes and one reboot.

Huh? I know it needs a reboot. But Vista needs about 12 of them if the
media is only one year old. Which is a good chunk of the time.

Then it doesn't take 6 hours, and you are showing yourself as a lying linux
troll !
At my DSL speed, it takes less than an hour.

I reinstalled a pre-sp1 Vista (thanks to wishing to nuke ubuntu) ... and it
required 2 reboots and about 90 minutes DL time including Office 2007
updates.
Hardly the 6 hour , 12 reboot cycle you just "completely made up"
Or, you have no friggen idea what you are doing.

Either way, your point was moot.

You should have quit before you made a total ass of yourself. It
doesn't matter how fast your ISP connection is if the site you are
downloading from is overloaded which is COMMON for the Microsoft site
when they first put up a version of some major upgrade like SP1 or
just release a beta of something.

How fast it takes to install Vista from scratch from a DVD depends on
many factors. It took some wannabe expert like you 90 minutes? I did
it in less than 40 and was up and running.

Just admit you don't have a clue. I haven't seen a fanboy posting here
yet that did. That's why it is always entertaining to slap you dummies
around for amusement value.
