That sounds like a definite joke. I thought it was funny :lolflag:. If s/he was seriously that dumb, do you think s/he could seriously boot from a cd?

I think, and very strongly would like to believe, that this is a joke. Very funny!

Also anyone else go to Amazon.com after reading this and get this?

Game? :-s


Well if Ubuntu was a game I would say it's the best game ever and I wish it was an OS. :guitar:

First there was Sim City and the flight-simulators. Then the football managers. And now we give you: Ubuntu the desktop simulator game - how good are you at managing a desktop, how long will you last, what software will you run, and will you choose to install it with the simple package manager or do you prefer to compile it yourself?

I am seriously depressed. I agree that it must be a joke, but deep in my heart I believe this did, or will happen.

This is why I bought this T-Shirt (http://www.thinkgeek.com/tshirts/frustrations/388b/zoom/) some time ago. ](*,)

Then there's the server level which is a lot more difficult because you don't get a desktop.

The comments at Amazon about the review, together with the "III" after the writer's name, say it all.

Well the fact that the title is "Don't waste your money... buy Windows!" pretty clearly distinguishes it as a joke. But it is funny anyway ;).

"Notepad word processor"? l.o.l. that has to be a joke. and i don't know of any OEM installation of Windows that includes "limewire" out of the box so they couldn't have been serious

YOU HAVE GOT TO BE ********** KIDDING ME! ******* STUPID!!! *stabs moron in the head and pushes him off a cliff* When you get Ubuntu, it tells you what it is and what it does. How blind and stupid can you be, seriously?! My faith in humanity has gone down 10 points...

Man, that Ubuntu game. I can barely get over 777. It says I have to use a cheatcode to get full root points.

This game sucks. Don't play it, it makes you cheat to win.

Yeah, I know what you mean. It says my game is running, but all I see is pretty picture with some words.

I couldn't stop laughing. I really hope this guy isn't serious, but who knows.

I don't know which is scarier, that fact that he might be serious or the fact that 5 people found the review helpful. < ( Quoted from Digg, joshhero123)

If anyone honestly thinks this could possibly be real, I'm amazed. It's got "joke" written all over it.

For example, the title says "go buy Windows". How could he know Windows was an alternative to Ubuntu if he thought Ubuntu was a game? Yeesh.

This is obviously a joke, i find it disturbing rather than funny, despite being )#"/%(&" funny!

People already pointed before the evidences that it is indeed a joke.
I don't think a guy thinking like that would even have the skills it takes to register and insert a comment on amazon.

I come from a country in which about 30% of the population can write as much as their signature and that's it, many haven't even ever learn how to read or write.
I have in fact heard stuff like this in person from people i know. It's not funny that our society became something in which knowledge and information are secondary things.
