"It's all too easy to get caught up in the million dollar marketing engine as we approach the consumer release of Windows Vista, so lets not forget that it isn't the second coming, and by all counts is an upgrade you can do without. There are many lists out there on why to get Vista, so here's ours on why not to." Update: I have written a rebuttal on my weblog. Update II: Another rebuttal.

Beyond my surprise that this person didn't know what version of Kubuntu they had or that it's just Ubuntu again, this is yet another reason I think Ubuntu should redo their branding.
Ubuntu (Gnome), Ubuntu (KDE), Ubuntu (XFCE), Ubuntu (Education), Ubuntu (FSF-edition), Ubuntu (Fluxbox), Ubuntu (Screaming Purple Clowns! Edition)...
Call it all Ubuntu (or at least the offical Canonical-supported Distros), because (maybe excepting gNewSense) they all use the same exact repositories and codebase, and can be used interchangeably.
It's like Legos. Who here, when they were little, never combined the Deep Sea Exploration model pieces with the Police Station model pieces to create a huge spaceship fighter jet that's more superpowerful than yours so nyah?
Well, my brothers and I did.
Ubuntu is Kubuntu is Edubuntu, and the recent proliferation of *buntus basically goes to show that 'Ubuntu' should really refer to the PROJECT, not one particular version of it.
