Microsoft love-note from a make-believe techie...
What a load of trash. You've obviously looked at something someone said once but never tried it yourself. Of course it's not the same but most of the programs are similar enough & of the same things used. A minimal effort required to do basic things, wireless just works unlike MS, & the newby is away & running. Installation these days is simple enough for a granny to do it so obviously you are a sham techie journo. Give it up because you just look like an idiot to anyone who has any knowledge at all. I haven't used Windows for many years now other than work installations where I have no choice. My computer has Windows 7 on it as well as Ubuntu but it never gets used. I never even bother loading it just to check because Ubuntu is so stable & I don't spend my life virus checking...
