I'm reinstalling XP :(

[fatality_uk]

I loved my stay, Ubuntu is just a superior OS.
In fact. The thing that really bugs me is the ipod syncing. I can't sync my iPod Touch without jailbraking!!! That just sucks!!

Tadaaaa. See post #17!!!

Just use VMware or Virtualbox if you must have XP. I've thought I was going to reinstall windows and do a dual boot many times, but I've never actually done it. It took me a bit to fully adjust to Linux, and now it feels great. Right now, there's no reason at all for me to put Windows back on here. It would just be a hassle and not worth it.

Maybe you shouldn't have bought one.
Have you e-mailed Apple support yet?

Why do people always post "I'm going back to XP / Mac / Windows 3.1" or whatever it was they used before Ubuntu after something's gone wrong? I'm cooking my tea, but you don't see me posting a new thread about it. Twitter, people, it's for stuff no one is remotely arsed about!

yeah, just like the windows bashing threads, right? nobody gives a flying crap.

Enjoy the bluescreens, viruses, spyware, addware, malware and general annoyances...

not the case if you have half a peanut in your cranial turret.

- Nothing works "out-of-box" the forums are a living proof of it.
- iPod syncing SUCKS
- I miss Macromedia Flash MX
- I miss decent DVD playback (SO MUCH)
- I miss iTunes, GOD i loved that App..
- I miss NOT being afraid of screwing up my system doing SUDO something. (I reinstalled 2 times trying to do a Macmenu bar).
- I miss .EXE installers. EDIT: Yes, I miss them. Because there are Universal (the same for all windows versions not like, .deb, .rpm, .bin) And you don't need a HOWTOs to get them uninstalled! (there are like 100 for Google earth)

This isn't Windows.
There are challenges
Knuckle down and figure it out, thats half the fun.

And for a matter of fact ALL my hardware. ALL of it worked out the box.
And is it Linux fault the MANUFACTURERS don't make the drivers?
I play DVD fine O.o
iTunes? AmaroK? tried that?
Sudo? scared of SUDO, in fact im scared of XP because there is no protection like sudo. The idea is so you cant damage your system and others cant.

And your telling us your going to XP why?
Want some sympathy? erm no. Just go XP and kiss Bill Gates' *** for me while your there.

do whatever you want, its your computer afterall.

Tiny suggestion for iTunes replacement:
Songbird (www.songbirdnest.org)

Its good, it crashes every once and a while, and its fairly buggy, but for the most part it works fine, and you can organize it just like iTunes.

I can't help with your other complaints, and I don't care to. Even if you still go back to XP, check out songbird...

- I miss decent DVD playback (SO MUCH)

i dun get it...i only play dvd on a realy dvd player with 5.1 channel on a big screen tv...doh

[eragon100]

I didn't have ANY problems with any of my hardware, or any of my two mp3 players and 2 data sticks, my external floppy drive (parents need it sometimes) and my paren'ts 2 usb sticks. They all worked out of the box.

It's just a question of luck

Yer well, I miss Photoshop for some features but doing it in GIMP makes it more fun, I think purely a case of not giving up some luxuries and pirated Windows software.
