    and you can download the new Ubuntu, Karmic Koala, Ubuntu 9.10 from
    and it's free and comes with access to thousands
    of free programs!

    What you can do with Ubuntu:

    Email
    Surf the web
    Burn CDs.
    Rip CDs.
    Listen to music using the computer.
    Watch vidoes/DVDs.
    Scan and print.
    Spreadsheets.
    Presentations
    Newsgroups.
    HTML editing.
    Games like Chess, Tetris, all kinds of solitaire, etc.
    Make videos.
    Download photos from a camera and organize them.
    Translations from one language to another.
    Use a dictionary program that's much faster than using a book
    Learn how to touch type with a touch type learning program.
    Edit images.
    Send and receive a fax.
    Take screenshots.
    Create .PDF files.
    Create and use a data base.
    Instant messaging with over 10 different programs in one including
    Windows Live Messenger.
    IRC.
    Bluetooth.

    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.

    Not a valid statistic when you consider how Micro**** strong arms OEMs.
    Shall we compare Windows 7 installs that are NOT preninstalled by an OEM
    to Ubuntu installs or would that be too scary for you?

    Those numbers will still be higher than Ubuntu numbers. Microsoft will sell
    more copies in a day than poor saps downloading Ubuntu in two years.

    If you could come up with a reliable ubuntu install base, sure.
    But you can't, cause Canonical won't count them.
    They are too busy counting all the unsold mugs and t-shirts.
    Pity.

    And your proof of what will happen in the future is?

    None?

    Why am I not surprised?

    Actually, you can.
    <!--coloro:blue--><span style="color:blue <!--/coloro-->

    Yes, they do, over 10,000,000 and counting.

    I don't care for the mugs or t-shirts either but you're trotting out a
    straw man again. In fact, I don't care for the name or the default
    colors either. I think Portals would be better and I have my theme set
    to "Glossy".

    You can predict the future by examining the past. I am speaking about one
    topic only, the Windows 7 product. I need to explain this to you so you
    don't say something else stupid about my initial statement.

    <!--coloro:blue--><span style="color:blue <!--/coloro-->
    > None?<!--colorc--><!--/colorc-->

    Didn't say none. You have reading comprehension problems again. Normal
    for you.<!--coloro:blue--><span style="color:blue <!--/coloro-->

    Post a link, please.
    Last I read, they feel it violates users rights.
    They don't count them.
    If they did, fingers would suffice.
