How exactly is Vista better than Ubuntu? Is it the DRM, WGA, Activation or the incredible system requirements?
Please, enlighten us. I for one can't even imagine what you are talking about.
If you were talking about about the lack of commercial applications I would understand, but then again this is the fault of software vendors not Linux.
Most of the stuff you described can turned off with a little know-how. Just like to get the best of out Ubuntu requires a little know how.
Vista is hardly the best Windows system (2000 would get my vote) but then in my honest opinion Ubuntu is hardly the best Linux system either. One thing Windows does very well is it's a well rounded system with specialist support (ie Cubase: Music production) - however loads of people use Ubuntu so it obviously apeals to an audience.
My suggestion is rather than arguing that x system is better then y system (which i'm guilty of as well), you guys should accept that x system does some things better than y system and equally y system does some things better than x.
