Comments on: Vista & Ubuntu – the similarities http://www.anuragbhandari.com/2008/10/vista-ubuntu-the-similarities/ Impossibilities Recede As Experience Advances Wed, 10 Mar 2010 16:18:46 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: Anurag Bhandari http://www.anuragbhandari.com/2008/10/vista-ubuntu-the-similarities/comment-page-1/#comment-13511 Anurag Bhandari Thu, 24 Sep 2009 10:35:39 +0000 http://anurag.granularproject.org/?p=127#comment-13511 <a href="#comment-13459" rel="nofollow">@Henry </a> I share similar feelings with you on this. What I did in this blog was just an informal comparison of similar features between the two OSes, but that is all. I have to agree with you on that nothing can beat Linux virus impermeability! And yeah, though Wine is not a comprehensive solution to running all Windows apps on Linux, it won't be too late when it will become more mainstream. :) @Henry

I can't even begin to think where to explain. Not only the visual effects, but also the software(grant it in some area's still lacking behind) the brilliant formatting used for Linux, and the system's impenetrability to viruses. Honestly, who can say they ever had a virus hit their Linux tux? And I'm sure that some day Wine, PlayOnLinux, and Mono will even catch up in full(100%), running windows applications and GAMES.

I have found that younger people adapt more quickly to Vista than Ubuntu, whilst older WinXP-weaned oldies like myself find Ubuntu much easier to grow fond of. Not all versions of Vista include that Aero thingie, but all versions of Ubuntu include CompizFusion, which will run on most systems. The renaming file feature has been around long before Vista was even released. M$ is trying to catch up with FOSS and losing ground, I'm afraid. Oh, and one *striking* contrast between the two: price??!? Comparing the two more accurately would require the inclusion of user input of ease of use of both OSes.

But I do have to agree that Ubuntu Linux is way far ahead of the graphical effects. Jam I do like the fact that they leave the file extensions there.

Yeah, sure thing that Ubuntu's effects are far superior than Vista's. ;) Martin, Yup, Windows can be given such well-deserved names. L,

Martin,

UBUNTU IS AT LEAST 10 YEARS AHEAD OF VISTA. Vista has only this "Flip" effect which Ubuntu does it better!!(In Ubuntu's flip there is also reflection!) So please edit your post and include the really amazing pictures of Cube, Cylinder,sphere, fire, water, wobbly windows, desktop wall,animations and any other you like.
