Re: Ubuntu - Whats still missing
Reverse the tables a little:
I tried Windows XP the other day and this is what i found missing:
Antivirus Software - For some reason I can't keep those bugs off my system
Spyware Remover - For some reason I get too many popups
Customized Blue Screen Of Death - I see a blue screen all the time, can i at least change it to purple or something? Maybe it will lighten the mood.
Desktop Choice - Where is the option to use Gnome? I can't find it anywhere
Graphic Design Program - Where is Gimp? It doesn't install from the beginning?
Office Suite - You mean to tell me I have to install OpenOffice??
Xgl - Where is my 3d spinning Cube & Wobbling windows?
Games - You mean i only get 5 games to start? Where is Konquest? What about AisleRot Solitare w/ dozens of game options? What about Atlantik? etc...
Package Manager - Where is the Synaptic on this? I can't install programs from Windows Update?
Money - Where is the money i should have used to pay my bills? I think someone robbed me....my wallet is empty.....
I am an ex-windows user. I use linux now, and will for probably as long as i am able to. This is just an example of how you can turn something "good" into something "bad". I believe that windows,linux,unix,mac,bsd,solaris,etc each have thier own place. I also believe linux has a place in my home, my heart, and my computer. d;] Just a thought.
PS- some of this was meant for humor.....so lighten up and laugh a little. I also want to state that i believe the original poster does have some valid points, but i think also to point out that linux is constantly evolving, so the features you request in linux usually come into play ALOT faster than if you request them from windows.
