Go back to my XP after about a week.

You're right that the font rendering is crap (or was last I checked anyway - think it was Ubuntu 8.04 I was playing with then). But with a little help from the support forums I got acceptable fonts in the end. Nobody has achieved the MS font rendering and font anti-aliasing on the OS level. And fon...

Like I said earlier I'm kind of an MS hater, but I can give credit where it's due. You might want to give Win 7 a shot before dismissing it, seems to run much better than Vista did. I'm running Win 7 on a weak little netbook and performance is great. Much more responsive than Ubuntu, and maybe slig...

Re: Win 7, what compels you to upgrade?
For me, the only thing I've seen that Win 7 will be able to do that XP cant is SSD optimizations out of the box. Some of which you could probably tweak on XP, while a few of the changes will be for win 7 only it seems. Vista does a lot more than XP. Just look up the list of features on wikipedia. I...

The reality is more complicated... . MS Office is a "must" for me and I personally dislike intensively to work with VM emulation. Second, wast majority of Windows programs does not have analogue in Linux. Yes, they have, some boys shouting... but the reality is ugly. Other issue in Linux is the font...

Windows 7 is a disaster. It is a Vista OS in something "new clothes". And Vista for sure was a greatest disaster in the computer OS history until now. The philosophy behind these OS is wrong. They persist with this Vista stupid interface. Why? Nobody knows. Instead of radical changes, they put this ...
