Windows 7 has been out and about for little over a week now, and as it turns out, Microsoft's new baby is doing relatively well. That is, according to the figures by NetApplications: Windows 7 already reached the 3% mark this weekend, and is already closing in on the 4% mark.

" Now, if only the Ubuntu team had done any form of q/a, I could've actually enjoyed that desktop software you're talking about. As it stands now, I'm using an Intel video chipset. Meaning, no Ubuntu/Kubuntu, because the Ubuntu team failed to test their release on the most common brand of video chips. Fail.
Here you go, Thom, this may be a work-around for you: http://www.insidesocal.com/click/2009/11/are-your-graphics-dead-in-... "
Or, if that work-around doesn't float your boat, then Mandriva 2010 is out:

The problem is apparently with kernel mode setting, which is causing X to die.
To disable kms, pass the parameters "i915.modeset=0" to the kernel on boot. The linked article has instructions for doing this for the liveCD and also for the Ubuntu subsequently installed to hard disk.
Now perhaps you can.
