Back to Windows...

[Jason Johnson]

Just wanted to add my comments.

I think any non-biased somewhat (or better) technical person would agree to
both Linux and Windows has their advantages as well as their disadvantages.
Truth be told, however, that Linux (including Ubuntu) still has a bit of
work to do before it could compete with Windows.

Don't get me wrong, Ubuntu is an AWESOME OS and could probably run circles
around Windows in many situations but the fact of the matter is that Windows
is still the world's standard (and I'm willing to bet it's going to be like
that for a little while.) Certain things are easier in Windows as certain
things are easier in Ubuntu, but I believe that in order to use Ubuntu
beyond the simple desktop use it required the user to be either very
technical or somewhat search engine savvy.

Either way, I think you (Wei-Yee Chan) should be a bit more helpful as
opposed to "oh yeah whatever dude go back to windows fag" type of attitude.
Must I remind you what the Ubuntu community is all about? Remember what
Ubuntu means, right?
