Ubuntu is ready for the desktop, has been for a while.

So I’m reading the comments from this article on the CompterWorld’s web site.  Most people leaving comments get it, Ubuntu is so ready for the desktop, but some just don’t get it. Look I have Ubuntu installed on so many systems it’s not even funny. Desktops, laptops, and servers and yes a few things took me a little work but not any more work than windows did. I haven’t even looked at Hardy yet and everyone says this is the most compatible  operating system yet for Ubuntu when it comes to hardware. Can the FUD really be that bad, are the people leavening bad comments even using Hardy, which by the way is still just beta.

Here is the truth no FUD. WindowsXP great OS, lots of software, lots of hardware support. You can do just about anything you need it to do, but it will cost you. Vista will take the latest computer technology to get the most out of it and there have been driver issues, and it will cost you.

Ubuntu 7.10 great OS, lots of software, lots of hardware support. You can do just about anything you need it to do, but it is free. Ubuntu 8.04 will run with all it’s bells and whistles on much less than Vista needs, lots of new drivers, and it is free.
