It's good to archive it the troll comment somewhere with some good replied
comments, and close it. Deleting is both good and bad somehow.

My answers to troll is here.

Anyway don't post it out.

1. Certain windows can run. But those windows can only be bought with new
low-end systems and not for existing low-end systems. It is not normally the
windows that cause the windows to perform slower, it's usually those
accompanying software that is essential that hog the system, example like
antivirus. And you might not run as well.

2. It might be due to the misconfiguration of your virtual box. Anyway,
please suggest your settings and bug report if you are sure it is not a
misconfigured settings. And virtual box is third party application, and not
officially supported by ubuntu. Please refer to Sun Microsystems instead.
They might tell you the answer, and perhaps the best system for virtual box
might be OpenSolaris, since it came from Sun now. There are ways to close
your application and you are not resorted to use the hard reset.

3. Just like Windows users trying to look like Mac Users, it is of self
preference. Nothing much to be said depending on taste.

4. Silverlight is made by Microsoft. And Novell is coming out a version for
Linux called Moonlight. Please send your feedbacks to Microsoft or Novell to
ask them synchonise their application for all the platforms. Currently flash
is widely used, and Adobe Flash has released beta versions of Flash 10 for
Linux simultaneously with other systems. Since Adobe can do it, Microsoft
also can do it too.

5. In Ubuntu there is a choice of players. You are not restricted to using
iTunes only. And you can use any players you like. iTunes force you to use
it not better you like it or not. So does this make iTunes likable for all?

Regards
John
