Walt Mossberg Reviews Ubuntu 642
sciurus0 writes "Mainstream technology journalist Walt Mossberg recently reviewed an Inspiron 1420N with Ubuntu installed by Dell. Citing problems such as an oversensitive touchpad and poor multimedia support, he suggests that 'from the point of view of an average user, someone who wouldn't want to enter text commands, hunt the Web for drivers and enabling software, or learn a whole new user interface' Ubuntu isn't a good choice compared to Windows or OS X."

Then there's those lovely Vista wifi applets... whats that? No wireless access points detected? Let's reboot the fucking computer (twice?) so that the same AP I use everyday at home shows up finally. At least when 'nix shits on my wifi card, I can pop open a console and ifconfig wlan0 down the bitch instead of flushing the entire machine state into the MS-shitter.
I LIKE 'nix because when something is working shittily, I can find out why and fix it. On MS, the box is black, unfixable. MS Vista is by leaps and bounds the worst piece of shit I've ever had to pay money for... and I bought Master of Orion 3 when it first came out.
