[Ubuntu-SG] [Fwd: [Bulk] [Singapore Ubuntu Team] Comment: "10 Reasons Why Ubuntu Linux is Better Than Microsoft Windows OS"]

[Rykel™ (Aen™)]

This is definitely a legitimate user's feedback, from what I see. However,
he/she is also a potential troublemaker who believes that Linux owes him/her
a living and I sense that his/her spirit is argumentative, which then turns
a real feedback into a flame.

My suggestion is to just delete it for now and write a private note to
him/her that we are here to PROMOTE Linux, not debate Linux. There are other
places on the net for those issues.

Having said that, it is critical that you and I take note of these things
and if you have programming experience, to contribute solutions to the
upstream if possible.

btw, I met Firdaz from the OSCC Malaysia over the weekend! (Thanks Nicholas)

> Ok you're glad that your OS doesn't look nice on its own so you have to go COPY another operating systems looks? Wow.
>
> 6. " Ubuntu Linux supports many Multimedia formats"
>
> Windows supports all of those formats, as well. Linux doesn't support silverlight properly. Newsflash...The OLYMPICS can be viewed online, in SILVERLIGHT. I don't see how this makes ubuntu better.
>
> 7. " Ipod can be synchronized using Ubuntu Linux"
> Yeah, but neither GTKPod, Amarok, or Rhythmbox supports video podcast syncing, which is a big deal. Thats why there's iTunes. How does this make ubuntu better?
