Only 20 More Days to Go!

and much more!

What you can't do with Ubuntu:

Worry about:
WPA and WGA raising their ugly heads,
DRM,
Viruses,
Root kits,
Spyware,
and
Malware.

The reasons that Ubuntu is more secure than Windows are twofold:

1. When *anything* in Ubuntu needs updating or patching, it all comes
from the same source and a little orange star appears when any updates
or patches are available. It's a known fact that anti virus apps and
anti malware apps can only deal with nasties that are known, not the new
ones. Hence, it is very important to be updated or patched and not just
the operating system but everything that is installed on the computer.
Windows has no central updating source and the user has to be checking
constantly for updates to their programs or face the possibility of
being compromised.

2. In Ubuntu, when anything wants to install, you have to key in your
password. With Windows, you have to click on "OK" or nothing at all as
is evidenced by drive by malware. Unlike Windows, the Linux kernel is
not intertwined with a browser like Windows is with Internet Explorer
and the kernel is kept away and protected from the user account.

Yes you can email.
<!--coloro:blue--><span style="color:blue <!--/coloro-->
> Surf the web<!--colorc--><!--/colorc-->

Yes you can surf the web.
<!--coloro:blue--><span style="color:blue <!--/coloro-->
> Burn CDs.<!--colorc--><!--/colorc-->

This takes specialized software. You need to know where to look with Ubuntu.
Could take you hours to find the right version.
<!--coloro:blue--><span style="color:blue <!--/coloro-->
> Rip CDs.<!--colorc--><!--/colorc-->

This could be done but not easily.

<!--coloro:blue--><span style="color:blue <!--/coloro-->
> Listen to music.<!--colorc--><!--/colorc-->

Sure. Put your IPOD next to your computer and you can listen to music.

<!--coloro:blue--><span style="color:blue <!--/coloro-->
> Watch vidoes/DVDs.<!--colorc--><!--/colorc-->

Not without specialized software. This could take you many hours to locate
even if you know what you want. Try the TV and DVD player hooked up to your
TV. Not with Ubuntu.

<!--coloro:blue--><span style="color:blue <!--/coloro-->
> Scan and print.<!--colorc--><!--/colorc-->

This is what your printer is for.

<!--coloro:blue--><span style="color:blue <!--/coloro-->
> Spreadsheets.<!--colorc--><!--/colorc-->

You can calclulate maybe 100-200 numbers. It will be slow. Open Sores
software is not that smart.

<!--coloro:blue--><span style="color:blue <!--/coloro-->
> Presentations<!--colorc--><!--/colorc-->

Sure - Bring paper make many copies and pass them out to everyone in the
room.

<!--coloro:blue--><span style="color:blue <!--/coloro-->
> Newsgroups.<!--colorc--><!--/colorc-->

Yes you can post to newsgroups. Alias does it so I guess you can also.

<!--coloro:blue--><span style="color:blue <!--/coloro-->
> HTML editing.<!--colorc--><!--/colorc-->

Very basic edits.

<!--coloro:blue--><span style="color:blue <!--/coloro-->
> Games like Chess, Tetris, all kinds of solitaire, etc.<!--colorc--><!--/colorc-->

Sure Ubuntu can run very basic LIMITED games. For real games you need
Windows or XBOX or PS3.

<!--coloro:blue--><span style="color:blue <!--/coloro-->
> Make videos.<!--colorc--><!--/colorc-->

Sure. That is what your Video Camera is for. Making videos. You can't make
videos with Ubuntu.

<!--coloro:blue--><span style="color:blue <!--/coloro-->
> Download photos from a camera and organize them.<!--colorc--><!--/colorc-->

Sure you can download photos. You just can do anything with them once they
get to Ubuntu.

<!--coloro:blue--><span style="color:blue <!--/coloro-->
> Translations.<!--colorc--><!--/colorc-->

Yes you need to have many things translated before using Ubuntu. Ubuntu is
not friendly so doing things will take you many hours. In Windows, it takes
minutes.

<!--coloro:blue--><span style="color:blue <!--/coloro-->
> Use a dictionary<!--colorc--><!--/colorc-->

Sure - Take the dictionary off the shelf and look up words.

<!--coloro:blue--><span style="color:blue <!--/coloro-->
> Learn how to touch type.<!--colorc--><!--/colorc-->

That is what your keyboard is for.

<!--coloro:blue--><span style="color:blue <!--/coloro-->
> Edit images.<!--colorc--><!--/colorc-->

Sure - you can edit images to brighten the image. For more complex edits
you need Adobe products - Try the Windows platform.

<!--coloro:blue--><span style="color:blue <!--/coloro-->
> Send and receive a fax.<!--colorc--><!--/colorc-->

This is what your printer is for! LOL!

<!--coloro:blue--><span style="color:blue <!--/coloro-->
> Take screenshots.<!--colorc--><!--/colorc-->

BFD. So you can take a screenshot of Ubuntu doing NOTHING.

<!--coloro:blue--><span style="color:blue <!--/coloro-->
> Create .PDF files.<!--colorc--><!--/colorc-->

Maybe. It will take you a long time to find the correct program to do this
with Ubuntu.

<!--coloro:blue--><span style="color:blue <!--/coloro-->
> Create and use a data base.<!--colorc--><!--/colorc-->

Sure you can open a text file and insert data.

<!--coloro:blue--><span style="color:blue <!--/coloro-->
> Instant messaging with over 10 different programs in one including

You want to run Windows Live messenger? Run Windows. Ubuntu sucks.

<!--coloro:blue--><span style="color:blue <!--/coloro-->
> IRC.<!--colorc--><!--/colorc-->

Maybe.

<!--coloro:blue--><span style="color:blue <!--/coloro-->
> Bluetooth.<!--colorc--><!--/colorc-->

With an hour or two of tweaking you might be able to get a simple device to
work for a minute or so.

Did you miss the refutations I made to the above ill informed drivel?
How come you're not man enough or intelligent enough to reply to the
rebuttal and can only mindlessly post the same lies over and over again?

How come you post a count down every time an INFERIOR update to Ubuntu comes
out?

About as intelligent as a brain damaged child who has no life, that keeps
posting the same old drivel every day with a childish countdown.

What an utter child you are!

you realize of course, that you're asking that question to a guy whose
screen name implies that his main purpose is masturbation, right?
