I think ubuntu is the best os ever.. ive used both 7 and ubuntu.. 7 is not a suprise for me.. may be for vista users..!! ..
If microsoft would come up with some orginal features it would be good..!!
For example.
Instant search – spotlight from mac
Aero snap – from ubuntu
Transculant windows – from ubuntu
microsoft widgits – mac’s gadgets
and so on…..
Be orginal Be open – http://www.ubuntu.com

I have been using several Linux implementations for some time, mainly Ubuntu, these days, but I do consider them to be child’s toys, very buggy and some applications unuseable. But now Linux can go drown in it’s own GPL. Windows 7 blows it away. Anyone who’s fed up with wrestling with Linux to do something basic and simple will find Windows 7 a welcome relief.

i downloaded windows 7RC and till yesterday was working nice. i didtn have the crashes that i used to have with vista, the boot is quick, and i played and worked well.

But today after the patches the video take the same speed ive had with vista. I hope next patches resolve this issue. But i remmember that vista sometimes worked better without the latest patch.

SO far my Use of Windows 7 has been interesting. I’ve been testing on a VM based in Linux, and it’s been performing very well. I have had luck in installing software, and running smoothing than XP on a VM. I have yet to install as a native OS because I just have too much stuff. to try and back with just not enough time. change things around. I am impressed with it, and looking to toying with as a I go along. I’m still uneasy about making the jump to Windows 7 just yet. Call me skeptical, but Vista just cast huge doubts in my waiving faith of Microsoft. Unfortunately I can’t hold back with the UI. I’ve been playing with a coule of Linux distros, and Windows 7 resembles a KDE/Linux interface. As I like the functionality of it all. There’s things that I’ve been playing with that that has been available for the last couple of years that just does better. I hope that the final release can break the mold for Windows. Another Gripe I have with Windows 7 is that the file structure is something like a sloppy combo of MS/ Unix. Who knows maybe Microsoft went back to some of their Xenix roots. Yes it is more stable than previous releases, but there is still that doubt. I feel that the new XP mode feature is limited just like WINE is for Linux Distros. Maybe Microsft can take a few more queues from the open source community, and just charge less, and bring more people in to make it better. That is just my opinion. One thing I hope to see is to have Microsoft come up to par with all the security issues that just comes with windows, and make it work well, and just be immune to viruss and mal-ware. Until then I’m keeping Linux as my primary. and here’s why.
1. Virtually NO viruses
2. Still more Natural to use depending on the distro. The two best I’ve worked with is Ubuntu, and Fedora.
3. I still run all my windows software Thanks to a Windows Emulator, and I think works some smoothly than the XP mode.
4. It Costs less, and in most cases it’s free unless you buy support which is still less than $50 a year in most cases.

I will admit that Microsoft has raised the bar for them, but as for actually meeting the market demand for usability, and security. Apple, and Linux has Microsoft beat.

I’m calling Microsoft out, and challenging them to do something AMAZING. Just as for a few things.
1. A file system that doesn’t need to be dragged, and long with journaling for those just in case power outages.
2. Boot to log in in under 20 seconds.
3. Not crashing due to a single program.
4. Give everyone the same features to use.
5. Come with security software and package with windows that actually worth a damn.

So Windows 7 is okay, but there are better operating systems out there. All you do is need to do is look.
