Race Ubuntu Lucid Lynx 10.04 vs Windows 7 - Asus 1008 HA

[sonpremo]

i like to install ubuntu in my laptop but windows 7 is pre install and i cant leave windows 7 because i think windows 7 is much stable...

[AmiableAdder]

@sonpremo Windows 7 is easier, but not more stable.

If you like cloud computing, downloading, streaming, etc, Ubuntu is safer.

[klramon]

@AmiableAdder i disagree with you. Ubuntu now is easier than windows. The most users just don't give a try.

@sonpremo: Then do a dual-boot. Google it ;)

Ubuntu is 'light'ware

[mytube232]

What is funny here... try using both of OSes for week or two, and then see which is faster. In my own experience every windows runs fast when cleanly installed.

@mytube232

I have got a other expiriance

I got a 8 Years old PC vs. a brand new PC and the 8 years old PC with ubuntu 10.04 boot twice as fast than windows

[mytube232]

@Praepotentes Haha, yeah I had those moments too.

Today I decided to root my Hero since HTC totally fu*** things up with update. Anyway, I was forced to use Windows XP after like 2 years... I can't describe how frustrated I was, everything was so slow I though it would take me for ever to finish what I had to do. Windows is installed on brothers computer which is basically the same as mine :)

[thebigbubi]

@mytube232 cleanly installed windows stays one or two weeks, then it takes double boot time

[mytube232]

@thebigbubi yeah I know that... for me personally boot time is not that important since I never turn off my computer, but it does contribute to overall feeling of the OS in question. But then again, keeping windows running more than one day with heavy usage is not really smart thing to do.

Good review. It's clear enough to make comparison which OS is faster. My dear Bill, u better catch up.
