there isn't really much to using it. Pretty much the same as Winders in
some ways. Clueless people are just that, "CLUELESS" it doesn't really

regardless. It is the TEACHING, that matters. Once I have taught users
on THEIR CHOICE of OS, they move right along. It makes NO difference

hogwash. It is ALL about the needs, wants, education, and not solely the
OS "PERIOD."

This IS a "real" Win7 news group. What a crack-up..

Whatever, you posted pro Ubuntu in an MS orientated group basically, and
are now backpedaling. ..Unnecessarily I might add. BOTH OS's have good
points and bad points. I happily use them both for different reasons, no
need to take sides.

Oh, and "A reason to try Ubuntu for myself one day."(?) That is just too
funny. Apparently you have some expertise, yet you haven't downloaded a
LIVE ISO of some Linux flavor or another and ACTUALLY checked it out?
...Yet you have an opinion that, "Ubuntu is not easy enough for the vast
majority of Windows home users. Period."(?) How can you possibly state
that, having not tried it? Gimme a break!

I tested Win7 from beta through RC, and like it a lot, in fact MUCH
better than the EXPENSIVE Vista Ultimate I purchased. (Which recently
crashed with the dreaded BLACK Screen of Death - KSOD) However, I really
like the Linux I have as well, so I use them BOTH for my purposes, and
it works out very well.

Flame wars at 300 baud did one of two things- they either died the first day
from the participants getting tired of waiting to see a response, or they
went on for weeks on end. There didn't seem to be any happy medium. Phew!
Those were the days LOL!!

There once was a talking Barbie - one of her blurbs was "Math is hard!"
Lots of women took offense at this, feeling that it was typecasting
girls as too dumb to do math.

Somehow, I don't think you meant to say that the vast majority of
Windows users are too dumb to figure out how to use Ubuntu.


I said *home* users, as in retired persons, busy people who do *not* use
computers at work, disabled individuals of all ages, even the
stereotyped stay-at-home moms. In my experience, many home users are
significantly less tech savvy than college students and business users
who also happen to have computers at home.

Average *home* users often play games and use the Internet, and might
even use a checkbook program instead of traditional paper. They are more
likely to use webmail because they don't know how to use an email
client, not because they actually travel or need to check mail in more
than one location. Most have never heard of Usenet.

When something goes wrong with the computer, they often can't afford to
just take it in for repair right away, so it waits, because they don't
have any compelling reason to get it fixed sooner. In this setting, the
computer is less important than the television but more important than
the toaster.

These people are not *dumb*, as you put it, just under-motivated to
learn how to properly use the computer to its full potential, simply
because they have no need of actual computing power. Other issues are
more important to them, such as childrearing, medical problems, or any
number of hobbies.

Just because some people don't know much about computers, do not assume
they aren't experts at such things as gardening, sports, crafts or any
other interest that keeps them away from the computer.

I see that he/she/it is still yapping and whining after that ass
whopping that he got from me.
I kill filed him right after I posted my last message to him, I expected
that he would have posted nasty flames, and he probably did.

I have not seen him posting a single fact or rely on facts in his posts
which had nothing but garbage and should go to linux advocacy newsgroup
where retards like him live.

I suggest that everyone kill files that troll or ignores him, once he is
ignored he will go away.

Even worse excuse.

This news group is alt therefore I can do whatever I want, this
newsgroup is not a real Windows 7 newsgroup, this newsgroup is not
properly named, blah blah blah.


Facts are facts. The entire alt.* hierarchy was invented because no one
liked the idea that free.* really meant freedom of speech. Obviously you
missed the sarcasm in my initial post, too.

Sure, in a hands-on teaching situation, with time and patience, it can
work. I can't be there to show them, I have to talk them through it.

This IS a "real" Win7 news group. What a crack-up..

Whatever, you posted pro Ubuntu in an MS orientated group basically, and
are now backpedaling. ..Unnecessarily I might add. BOTH OS's have good
points and bad points. I happily use them both for different reasons, no

Oh, and "A reason to try Ubuntu for myself one day."(?) That is just too

No, I haven't. I've only touched one demo machine at the local store. I
have no idea which version or flavor it was, only that I couldn't guess
what the program names meant in the list of choices. I didn't like the
idea of having to either download them or go online and research it to
find out whether or not I was even interested in the programs.

No backpedaling involved, I simply erred by making my sarcasm too
subtle. I either overestimated the reading ability of this group or
underestimated the blinders to any topic that is controversial.

Please explain how my intention to *not* use Ubuntu, as clearly stated
in my original post, equates to advocacy. This should be good. ;-)

Like Microsoft, I prefer to cater to the lowest common denominator, so
instead of taking the time to either talk a relative through the process
of downloading an *.ISO and what to do with it, or doing it myself and
mailing them out, I allow them the comfort and familiarity of the OS
they already have, because some people really fear change.

You keep saying that but I've yet to come across anything that can't be
done using Windows that can be done on linux. Whereas we all know you
can't run most games on linux.
So you can do everything on Windows but not everything on linux. So why
would anyone need two computers or two OS's when one (Windows) will do
everything?
Oh and spare us the "safe surfing bull**** routine" ok.

concerned,--- Ubuntu is not easy enough for the vast majority of
Windows home users. Period.---

Not true, I have many clients happily using Linux of one flavor or
another, who, (respectfully), are basically clueless users. Once set
up, there isn't really much to using it. Pretty much the same as
Winders in some ways. Clueless people are just that, "CLUELESS" it
doesn't really matter WHAT OS is involved I have found. Clueless is
clueless, regardless. It is the TEACHING, that matters. Once I have
taught users on THEIR CHOICE of OS, they move right along. It makes
NO difference which OS they choose. This bit of one OS being better
than the other is hogwash. It is ALL about the needs, wants,
education, and not solely the OS "PERIOD."

If this were a *real* Window 7 newsgroup, I would have made a better
subject line in my first post, instead of pasting the article title.

This IS a "real" Win7 news group. What a crack-up..

Whatever, you posted pro Ubuntu in an MS orientated group basically,
and are now backpedaling. ..Unnecessarily I might add. BOTH OS's have
good points and bad points. I happily use them both for different
reasons, no need to take sides.

Oh, and "A reason to try Ubuntu for myself one day."(?) That is just
too funny. Apparently you have some expertise, yet you haven't
downloaded a LIVE ISO of some Linux flavor or another and ACTUALLY
checked it out? ..Yet you have an opinion that, "Ubuntu is not easy
enough for the vast majority of Windows home users. Period."(?) How
can you possibly state that, having not tried it? Gimme a break!

I tested Win7 from beta through RC, and like it a lot, in fact MUCH
better than the EXPENSIVE Vista Ultimate I purchased. (Which recently
crashed with the dreaded BLACK Screen of Death - KSOD) However, I
really like the Linux I have as well, so I use them BOTH for my
purposes, and it works out very well.

G'day


I agree 100%. Why not have the best of both worlds?

You keep saying that but I've yet to come across anything that can't be
done using Windows that can be done on linux. Whereas we all know you
can't run most games on linux.
So you can do everything on Windows but not everything on linux. So why
would anyone need two computers or two OS's when one (Windows) will do
everything?
Oh and spare us the "safe surfing bull**** routine" ok.


Stability.

Safe surfing.

Much easier to update and updates come when ready not when it's "that
time of the month".

Much easier to install programs

Bulletproof compared to Windows malware-wise

Many Linux programs are NOT made for Windows. Evolution, for example.
Nautilus, ssh and One Cloud are others.

Faster USB file transfers

Faster Internet speeds

Frank doesn't use it.
