Still trying to learn the new OS :D

 

I just tried the newest ubuntu 2 days ago. I had a lot of problems with it.

HD Flash videos were out of sync(audio/video) and it made my system run considerably hotter than it did under windows. On top of that I instantly felt like I was missing a lot of crucial software. This system is no slouch(Athlon II x4, 4gig ram, 5750 vid card) and I felt like I was holding it back with linux. It booted way faster but the performance was otherwise way slower.

 

I originally was thinking of making this system a home theater pc but realized I was better off using media center and my xbox than trying to get myth working which was my original intentions.

Back to Windows 7 - at the end of the day and for me it's preferred over Ubuntu.............albeit an interesting exercise. :blink:

Just a windows default, but I think its marvelous.

 

 

Ever since I upgraded to windows7, I haven't felt the desire to move all my icons to the top right corner as I used to on winxp. Not sure why.
