Did Vista Bring You to Ubuntu?

[esaym]

Vista was the whole reason I moved to kubuntu. The closer the release date gets the sicker I feel. Is something wrong with me?

I am just so freaking discussed with vista. And it blows my mind that some people actually are looking forward to it!

I've actually had three friends inquire about Ubuntu because they've tried betas of Vista and are not happy at all. We will see what happens.

Its upcoming release made me want to give Ubuntu a try, see if I coulnd't finally get linux working properly - and I did, so yeah, I guess it sort of did...

Vista was not the reason I came to Ubuntu, but it's the reason I'll never willingly touch a Microsoft OS again

Quoted for truth.

I didn't even know about Vista before I came to use my first Linux distro, but I will not be installing Vista, even though I have one computer that uses XP.

I have two windows apps that I can't live without and that have no Linux equivalent. This chains me to XP on my main computer, though for everything else I use Ubuntu on my other PC.

But I won't ever use Vista. Won't buy it. WILL take it off any PC I buy.

And yes, it was Vista that made me decide to try Linux yet again (fourth attempt, over the years - but thanks to Ubuntu this time I'll be sticking with it).

viruses and spywaremade me come to ubuntu a couple of years ago, as well wanting to do with MY computer what i wanted and not what someone THINKS i should do.

Vista is gonna open a can or worms, viruses and trojans. all the cracker-malware-kiddies will target it cos ...... well, its such a big target

I work with and support computers. This means that one day I may get a copy of Vista since it's really hard to support people who will be using it if I don't have it.

However, Vista did push me along the Learning Linux path. I don't remember why I chose to learn Ubuntu, it was a little more than a year ago when I first gave the flatulent badger a try. I realized that I could install it and use it, with little difficulty. I just didn't like that I didn't know the nuts and bolts of the OS. I still have alot to learn.

I tried the Vista betas and RC1, I didn't like them. They didn't have a driver for ATI 9250!!!, to that I said what kind of joke is this. What kind of RC doesn't have a basic ATI agp driver? Some release candidate!

My sentiments exactly.
