Ubuntu man Shuttleworth dissects Hardy Heron's arrival

| "Team Canonical bought into the virtualization hype by slotting KVM into the
| Ubuntu kernel," he told us. "I have to wonder whether or not this move caters
| more to Canonical's business needs than the suggested larger goals for Ubuntu
| of mass adoption.
|
| "Much of Ubuntu's success to date has been tied to a maniacal focus on the
| desktop. But now we're seeing that focus whittled away by the rise of more
| platform projects that manage to gain prominent billing as well as
| proprietary enterprise solutions that the community might see as eating into
| developer time."

Vista Ultimate vs. Ubuntu 7.04 - Which Install Is Easier?

| So less than 3 hours into this experiment, I have both Vista and Ubuntu
| installed and patched. Both systems are stable, more or less, but both
| systems have quirks. Neither system worked perfectly, but much to my surprise
| the Ubuntu system worked better, (once I got the keyboard working). More
| hardware worked without needing to download additional drivers. More over,
| there is moreover, the desktop that I do have is more functional -
| applications like GIMP, Open Office, and a slew of multi-media apps are far
| more useful than Wordpad, Paint and the slew of crap that Vista comes with.

| I installed Ubuntu on the Toshiba laptop. Ubuntu installed in 15 minutes - 49
| for Windows XP and 125 for Windows Vista. Ubuntu's desktop came right up. I
| opened the pre-installed Firefox browser and found I could browse the Web
| immediately. Ubuntu installed a network adaptor for the Toshiba laptop.
|
| I shake my head at this Windows foolishness!
