Star Walt Mossberg Reviews Dell Ubuntu
Linked by Eugenia Loli-Queru on Thu 13th Sep 2007 08:14 UTC, submitted by Anonymous Reader
Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu "My verdict: Even in the relatively slick Ubuntu variation, Linux is still too rough around the edges for the vast majority of computer users", says Mossberg. Among others, he complains about one of the things I did too when I was writing my stream of Ubuntu reviews back in Spring.

Would you be disappointed if your car's Stereo didn't work every second time you started the car, and you go back to the salesman and he tells you that 'you should have known that limitation before ordering'.


Of course we would. But who never has any similar problem with Windows? Especially this kind of problem... Let's talk about the X configuration, complicated sound problems, video editing softwares if you really want to talk about SERIOUS problems. Those are just the everyday little problems of every OS. I can write the same article about XP or Vista honestly. Or the same article explaining that Ubuntu is nicer to use than Vista, based on a few nicely chosen examples.

That's a bit too short to me, sorry. I think people go beyond the first look, they are not stupid, he says it. So they know you will need some time to use a new system. But I'm confident most of them can simply do it.
