Battle: Ubuntu 11.04 vs Windows 8 Developer Preview

Full article here: http://wp.me/p1etFe-fy

In the video below, we'll see how Windows 8 Developer Preview does against Linux build Ubuntu 11.04 in a startup and resource comparison. Both operating systems have been installed as is, with no editing of settings except for the Wi-Fi connection network after startup. Both operating systems were installed on two identical Dell Inspiron Mini 1012s, with 1GB RAM...

You be the judge.

@RCTPatriot75 Windows 8 Dev Preview is free too :)

@Andrew35133 Shitbuntu is bloated, and thanks to the Unity crap that its been plagued by for the past year, almost all the retarded LiEnucks nerds have abandoned it.

Mint is the top LiEnuck distro now.

Windows 8 kills Shitbuntu.

Ubuntu 10.10 is the best in my opinion :D

@LiEnucksFAILS but you know, that mint is based on Ubuntu!?

@LiEnucksFAILS On the bright side, Ubuntu doesn't look like HTML + AIDS, unlike Windows 8. Microsoft said it was risky, and after installing Server 8, I see why.

@LG141602 Booting up in <10 sec. is pretty easy for a high-end desktop on any OS. I'm talking about a sub-$1000 laptop. We had an entry-level desktop (i5-650, 4GB RAM, SSD) that booted Ubuntu in 6 seconds flat from BIOS end to usable desktop.

@isantop yeah its a high-end desktop 7 I also have an ssd and windows 8 boots in less than 7 secs

@LG141602 I don't know what type of computers you work with, but 1-2 Terabytes of storage is only really common in high-end desktops. Most PCs are sold with 500-750 GB of storage, and laptop drives only come in sizes up to 750GB

SSDs are gaining traction fast. Space is a big issue.

BTW, the computers I work with boot Ubuntu in ~12-15 seconds, on traditional hard drives. The SSD models boot in half that.

@isantop I know you can do that on ubuntu but ubunto is very light, but it takes a long time to load, I think all current OS's are great each one is made for different needs.

Space who cares about space, compurers today have like 1-2 terabites of space
