Has Ubuntu Replaced Windows on Your Box?

[Mark Nottingham]

I would like to get rid of Windows but I can't. I cannot find a VPN client
that works with my firm's Nortel Contivity box and some of the apps I need
won't run under Wine (and there is nothing that does the same job afaik). My
'productivity' is just so much higher with XP too. Everything is so much
easier to install and use. If I want to install a program I just
double-click on a file and the application is listed in the 'All Programs'
menu. In Ubuntu, if I can work out *how* to install it I then have no idea
where it has installed it to, and there is usually nothing listed in the
menus so I can run it.

Having said all that, I really like Ubuntu - the software and the
philosophy. I ordered the CDs and I've been dishing them out to my friends.
Maybe in a year or so I can make the switch permanent. Until then I'll have
to hang on to XP I'm afraid.

No, Ubuntu hasn't replaced Windows on my desktop.

Windows has never been installed on my computer at all!
