I’ve just been given a lovely new pc at work which i’ve formatted and chucked ubuntu on – I haven’t used linux properly in a few years but now im doing 99% PHP5 development figured I’d have a go at running a pure linux desktop machine

Oh my what a suprise, ubuntu boots up onto a nice live cd for you to play with and make sure you’re hardware is compatible with it all first before you even click install. Network was working, all my hardware, everything straight from a 600mb CD…

So I click install – it sets the drive up perfectly, takes 3 minutes and I have a full OS..

Graphically looks gorgeous, fonts are smooth and pleasing to the eye much like using OSX
And spaces…. how have I lived my life without desktop spaces. I have komodo open in one and the dev site open in firefox on the other.. switching between them is heaven

Then the other 2 spaces I have one remote desktop’d into my home vista pc (LOL) and the other full of personal sites (gmail etc..)

How can microsoft spend years writing vista and not include multiple desktops? Hell if you run a multiple monitor setup it doesnt even allow you to put the task bar on both screens *sigh*

Ubuntu is sooo fast, everything just works straight away.. all the packages are free.. I just dont understand why anyone would buy windows these days

Yes you dont get games on linux, but hell thats why I bought an xbox 360 isnt it!

Vista SP1 might fix the MANY bugs in vista (why does it take forever to copy simple small files?) but I will one night next weekend be formatting my pc at home for ubuntu install
