Aero Glass vs. Compiz
Compiz beats out Aero hands down due Compiz being much more configurable.
Work Stations
Ubuntu beats out Windows 7 because it has more than one work station or
desktop. To get more than one with Windows 7, one has to spend money on
a third part program.
File search
Windows 7's file search is far superior to the one that comes with XP
but is slow compared to Ubuntu.
File transfer
Windows is still slower than Linux.
Internet speeds
Windows is still slower than Linux.
Boot up time.
Windows is still slower than Linux.
Safe surfing
Windows is still more vulnerable than Linux.
Games that come with Windows
I prefer the ones that come with XP over 7. Even Spider Solitaire is
quicker in XP than Windows 7. Ubuntu comes with a lot more preloaded
than either 7 or XP. Ubuntu wins again.
Wallpaper and themes
Windows 7 does win on this one as the wallpapers and themes are pretty
cool in 7.
Cost:
To have Windows 7 with PhotoShop and MS Office, we're talking more than
a grand you have to spend. Of course, with Ubuntu, the cost is nothing.
Ubuntu wins again.
All and all, Windows 7 is much better than XP but pales compared to Ubuntu.

Since OO and GIMP are cross-platform and available for Windows,
this comparison doesn' fly. It would only cost the OS cost.
But, I digress.....
Didn't you say you were going to stop the Linux thing ?

The difference between Windows 7 and Ubuntu.
Windows 7 costs money.
Ubuntu is FREE.
People still choose Windows 7.
Argument over. Oops.

Another way to look at that would be that you can have both for the cost
of win7. But you can't have both for the cost of Linux.
Most people don't 'choose' win7 - that's what they get and are not
presented with a CHOICE - they don't even know what a 'linux' is.

Me thinks that if GIMP had a 'normal' user interface, many more
people would use it. The multiple-top-level-windows GUI
sucks....

Today, you posted your "differences & similarities" post that was an
uncalled for, OT personal opinion, and you were obviously looking for a
fight.
This is a Windows 7 ng, not a comparison ng for comparing Windows vs any
other OS.
We all realize you've only had Windows 7 Home Premium for a few weeks
now and are just now learning how to use it, which is very obvious, and
you've been pushing that POS useless toy os, up-yr-fucking-butt-too, in
Windows ng's for yrs, (to no avail, as no one in their right mind would
use that crap), and you continue to post about it and you are obviously
looking for a fight, not a civilized conversation, so stop LYING!
