It took 2 weeks to get used to Ubuntu, as a first time user and with limited
Technical background. I have been using Ubuntu for 8 weeks and it never
crashed,Internet connection has never hung, it is absolute pleasure using
Ubuntu.
Vista users should switch to Ubuntu for a while because the Vista makes them
behave in a way which is somewhat different from normal human beings.

Same here with Vista .. isn't it amazing

Why are you here in a Vista newsgroup? I'd have thought you'd be out
pleasure using )

snappy un-thought-through answers are welcome

Googling for "Windows problems" yeilded about 18,500,000 results

Googling for "Ubuntu problems" yielded 1,060,000 results.

Guess Ubuntu wins.

Considering Linux has 0.6 percent of the desktop, Windows wins.

Except for the fact the (a) Vista is new and (b) Windows is installed on
something like 90x more machines.

Why don't you write a calculator app?

Assuming these figures is correct, Moshe is correct.

Windows problems: 18,500,000 over 99.4% of the populace
Linux problems: 1,060,000 over 0.6% of the populace

Windows problems per %: 18,611.67
Linux problems per %: 1,766,666.7

Clearly, Windows wins if one uses this particular calculation method.

A slightly more accurate calculation would include OSX, of course.

Linux. The choice of a GNU generation.
Windows. The choice of a bunch of people who like very weird behavior on
a regular basis, random crashes, and "extend, embrace, and extinguish".

Nah. First of all, that's just for "Ubuntu".

Second, our poor concentration-camp survivor assumes that it is all
desktop problems. Could be close, though, with Ubuntu.

Third, duplicates, undoubtedly massive, are ignored in both cases.

Fourth, perhaps more Windows problems are solved by going to a friend
rather than to the web.

The "calculations" would, however, still be garbage.

It's a big assumption. -) Of course, that makes it
even worse if Linux is only using 0.6% of the Desktop
(disputable in itself), how much of the desktop does
Ubuntu have? That just makes it bigger -- were this to
have any validity at all.

I'll admit to wondering what kinds of "problems" these
counts reflect. Google in particular has some interesting
characteristics if one does a multiword search such as
"Iraq war tanks", some of the searches will include "Iraq",
some on "war", and some on "tanks" -- this is not that
hard to see on a 10-link "page".

(For that particular query, one also gets hits on "Iraq
war", but one rather amusing hit is titled "Iraq War Movies
Tank at the Box Office" -- from KCRW, an FM station located
in Santa Monica, CA. Of course, Iraq war movies probably
involve armored artillery in some form, but clearly "tanks"
is found here in a completely different context.)

One of the more interesting Windows issues, that.

The calculations are OK, but, like dividing the number
of penguins in a zoo by the size of one's fountain pen,
the result is essentially meaningless.
