Ubuntu Linux vs. Windows Vista: the Desktop Battle
Linked by David Adams on Tue 4th Dec 2007 19:39 UTC, submitted by michuk
Talk, Rumors, X Versus Y "It may be a brave opinion but I predict that Ubuntu Linux and Windows Vista are going to be the two operating systems that will take over the largest chunk of the desktop OS market during the next couple of years. This comparison is based on my experience with both systems during the last couple of weeks on two different computers."

Yes, there are plenty of First Person Shooters on Consoles now, but they just aren't fun, not even a little. You have the choice of playing them with a Gamepad, which means, either every enemy in the game will stand around like a drunk monkey and fails to hit you from 5 meters away or you have autoaiming and watch the game play itself or you could get an Wii, where the First Person Shooters look like Quake 1 Mods and you still require lot of autoaiming, which feels like watching someone else playing. Not to forget that with a joypad you walk around like a drunk sailor on vacation.

I don't like Beat Em Ups except for Street Fighter 2 and i don't like Dance Dance Revolution, Guitar Hero and all those crappy typical console games.
Until i can play console games with Mouse and Keyboard i'm not tempted.

Poppycock. Playing First-Person Shooters on consoles is just a matter of getting used to the different control scheme. Halo *was* fun. The various Call of Duty *were* fun.

I see there's quite a few mouse-and-keyboard snobs here. Cool, that's your right. Still, that doesn't change the central argument: "hardcore" gaming doesn't requite a Windows PC.

Yeah, because those are the only types of games you have on consoles. *rolls eyes*
