Alas support for my beloved Windows 2000 is going to stop and the longer the more applications are no longer compatible. Hey, we had a good time, but it is time to say goodbye and to look out for a new and sexier partner. Welcome Ubuntu!

Rather strange he's looking at Ubuntu 7.04 almost two months after 7.10 was released (I know he started this 9 weeks before, but still). And that he compares it to Win2000.

And it definitely doesn't take an hour to install Ubuntu and another hour to update it; just like it doesn't take 3 hours to do the same with WinXP.

Other than that, it's nice to see Linux getting attention. IMHO it more than deserves it.

I have to admit that "9 1/2" weeks always brings to mind something besides computers ...
