Ubuntu and several other Linux distros use Compiz Fusion for the eye candy and I think they found the sweet spot when they decided to add them into the operating system the way they did. I’ve actually heard buzz around the Internet for a long time now that XP runs games better and faster than Vista. I really like the visual upgrade that comes with Vista (compared to XP), but honestly it’s nothing more than XP with a new theme and optimized a little (or say they say it’s better?).
I think the biggest thing that helps me and makes me faster is the fact that I can have so many workspaces and easily switch between them instead of clicking and hunting windows and tabs all the time. I find myself coding more efficiently and faster in Ubuntu than I can in Windows. It’s actually very easy and the familiar feel alone will increase the ease of use with not just Linux…but you and your computer. In fact, you can even make your installation of Linux look and feel exactly like Windows or Mac if you want. Linux has really evolved these days though! Linux can honestly be as easy to use as Windows XP/Vista or Mac OS X. I find myself being controlled more when I’m in Windows than I do in Linux, which is weird to me because I used to assume that you couldn’t do much in Linux other than hack and code things. It’s interesting to see how I work differently in each operating system and how the system can in some cases control you rather than you controlling the system. What a freakin’ scam! Microsoft should be sued for this! Seriously! There’s basically nothing better with ultimate, nothing! I am glad to be able to run the “Best” version of Windows along side what is in my opinion one of the best operating systems ever…Ubuntu. There really weren’t any “Extras” available when I installed Ultimate the first time, but I expected to find a list of available “Extras” when I installed it last night (over a year later).
I bought Vista pretty much right after it came out and I really enjoyed using it at first just because I thought to myself, “Man…this is the new Windows…how awesome!”, but now that I got tired of it crashing and I switched to Ubuntu for about a year and a half….well, I’m just not impressed anymore. I bought Ultimate because I thought that there were going to be a lot of “Extras”…but I was clearly wrong. Honestly, I don’t even use the BitLocker feature. This is the last thing that I will be buying from Microsoft that is supposed to be the best possible package.
