    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.

    It's a big deal. Ext4 will now be standard and default. Do you even know
    what the significance of that is?

    "Karmic", yeah, for Microsoft, quite karmic.

    LOL! No, you don't know the significance. Why am I not surprised?

    Nobody needs to use that INFERIOR Ubuntu. You know that Crappy OS that is
    on less than one percent of the desktops? Ubuntu has been free for years
    yet people reject it 99.99999% of the time.

    Ubuntu is worth exactly what you pay for it: NOTHING
