I used to get laughed at when at work, I hadnt realised the fact :

I chuckled at people who had the mac, Ipod, iphone etc... then someone pointed out....

I had Zune, PCs, Windows Mobile, and Xbox.

Fail.


Im addressing the balance.  Im now on Ubuntu and have an Android phone

Only reason I use XP is availability of games. I also have a book writing proggy called roughdraft that would be difficult to replace but that isnt really a problem, I could use any text editor at a push.

I seem to have got several copies of XP through buying new PCs and from friends junked ones. Its also just the thought of the extra cycles needed.

windows 7 64bit is definitely much faster for me than XP 64bit was....

I think it handles the extra cores and ram better ?

(tho i turned off all the fancy gfx so it actually looks like xp)


something to think about ;)

I used the stick at work to boot with so I could watch youtube as flash was not installed and I do not have the administrative privileges but now they found that it is nescessary to have flash, LoL.

If you are running ubuntu it is a good idea to go to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu
so you can get more apps etc.

"After months of testing Vista on multiple computers, new and old, I believe it is the best version of Windows that Microsoft has produced."

Vista has done more to help the spread of Linux on the desktop than Ubuntu, SuSe, Red-Hat and Debian combined.

edit: I should point out that this comment has no basis in evidence whatsoever, it feels true though!
