My God, these guys are making money even from 'lively and helpful communities', I prefer calling it 'paid support'. Like I said, Huge Overpriced Advertisement to earn more money for Steve Jobs.

Ubuntu is a sleek OS and it works great, that's why I have it on my PC but Vista ain't that bad either. If Microsoft sold Vista hardcoded on their own heavily tested branded hardware like mac does, it would've worked exactly like or even better than a Mac. On the other hand, if Mac comes out on a DVD for your existing PC, the kind of criticism it would generate would be enough to send Steve Jobs straight to hell. -- ubuntu-in mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in
