First Cup of Ubuntu
After reading all opinions here's my few bucks.
I'm sitting on both Win7 and Ubuntu, well, I have no probs with them at all,they're both fast, stable, but 7 still more comfortable than Ubuntu. And it REALLY FAST, 3 times faster than Vista, fast as XP. And that's not subjective opinion, I'm not fan of any OS, that's my objective opinion.
OS holywars is stupid. All should be in harmony, even relationships between OS.

I was recently blown away by their multitouch stuff. I don't know how it is underneath (it could be a lot of horrendous hacks), but, for example, you get kinetic scrolling in Explorer by clicking and dragging. (And a nice touch: when you hit the end, the scroll area doesn't wiggle, but the whole window springs up and then back. Makes sense).
The sad thing is that GTK should be able to do this, invisibly, for every existing application since it has always had a powerful scroll container widget. Unfortunately it doesn't yet and there is nothing on the roadmap to that end.
The gestures (eg: two fingers to zoom, essentially triggering a zoom button behind the scenes) stuff is cute, but rather useless.
It seems that touch screen drivers enjoy disappearing at random, probably crashing. Happened with the earlier devices running Vista, too.
They have a really well produced software package ("MS Touch Pack") that they ship. The photos demo does an impressively terrible job of scaling and rotating photos when you drag them with two fingers, unless they are really far apart. The others are quite awesome, especially the air hockey thing.
Gee! These Aren't Roasted!
omg linux fanboys, etc.

They do have one. It's the MSDN forums. I've seen Ubuntu die hards evangelizing Ubuntu and Linux on Windows forums much more than I've seen Windows being evangelized on Linux forums.Originally Posted by ade234uk
They already tried that. We used to have an 'Other OS Talks' subforum with a subforum within it specifically for Windows. They did away with the entire 'Other OS Talks' subforum because they thought it was irrelevant and not worth moderating.

May the Ubuntu Be With You!
+1, I agree completely.
It was always interesting to cruise those forums. I learned mucho, about other distros, and operating systems.They already tried that. We used to have an 'Other OS Talks' subforum with a subforum within it specifically for Windows. They did away with the entire 'Other OS Talks' subforum because they thought it was irrelevant and not worth moderating.
Unfortunately, the powers to be here, thought resurrecting some form of "Join Discussion", and blending it with the support forums, was a priority over the "Other OS" stuff.
But hey, it's their game, and I guess one has to live with their vision of what a Ubuntu community might/should be.
