Offering numerous enhancements for both desktop and server environments, this release includes notable features like Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud images, the Ubuntu One 'personal cloud,' and Linux kernel version 2.6.31.

MS doesn't miss the bus. The problem is the MS bus is a short bus.

Linux caught the bus. But MS made Linux sit in the back of said bus.

Don't know if anyone said it, but it seems to me that it's because the onboard video is using 16 of those 128 MBs..

Depends on your definition of noob.
He's been installing and administrating Windows systems for 15 years - so by the general definition, he is no noob.

I have had issues with Ubuntu upgrades before breaking stuff.
That's funny, I often break stuff after installing Windows.

Oh-oh, we're getting dangerously close to a full set of buzzwords...

This is unacceptable! I will fork this, and call it "Ubuntu Social iEnterprise Vertical e-Cloud Framework", Codename: "Twitching Twitter".
'Cause I got a fever. And the only prescription is "MOAR CLOUDBUZZ"!

My Compaq laptop with XP only has 112 MB of memory.

An operating system's job is to run my applications and allow those applications to interface with my hardware. When an application that I need stops working or my hardware no longer works, then we can talk about moving to the next version of the operating system. Anything else is the tail wagging the dog.
Actually, it's this "Buy Buy Buy!! It doesn't matter if it really meets your needs!! Get on that upgrade treadmill, what are you some kind of loser?!11" mentality that put the world in the financial mess it's in right now. You really should be ashamed of yourself.
