Yeah, if you are a computer whiz (I am 8P) it is really easy to notice the differences otherwise it doesn't matter to most people. 8P

Yes I have windows 7 I like it but I cant figure out the side by side feature but besides that its good

You drag one window to one side of the monitor and it should fill half. Then drag the other one to the other side, etc.

While did you try Ubuntu's website 8P, that would help a lot.

Also if you want my advice on that computer you linked to...
I know a fair deal about computers and networking as I have had/worked with many different computers including Mac, Windows 95, 98, 2000, xp, vista, 7, Ubuntu, Linux Mint, puppy dog Linux and many other variations and have built a computer and have been offered an internship at a computer repair center. I would suggest you would not buy that netbook because in layman's terms, it a piece of junk. I would not even buy a new computer if you are looking to use Linux (unless you really want a netbook) then I would buy an HP or Acer netbook as they are currently the best on the market. I would just install Linux on your current computer (Utilizes resources much better than its rivals) or dual-boot or tri-boot or even set it up as a VM (providing your processor supports VMs) instead of wasting money on a new system that is basically just an IPhone with a larger screen that has less storage space.

Just my opinion from someone who knows a bit about computers, don't want you to waste your money. 8P

Well then, I hope Apple gets their rumerd <- (Or however you spell it.) Tablet out soon. I hate using the touch-pad and would much prefer a touchscreen.


That is, Unless anyone knows of a tablet that acts as a full computer without being more than 10in and 3.5lbs




Oh, and btw, my current computer is about 4 years old...

While the computers at my school are G3 PPC's and with Linux they run absolutely fine. I know HP has a tablet that is 12" and doesn't weigh that much so...

While the "piece of junk" statement was just from MY extended knowledge of computers. You don't have to listen to me, but I would keep shopping.

I'm running seven here at home, for me is much better than XP

I'm using Snow Leopard

I do believe Windows 7 is an improvement, but after the problems I had with my previous XP machine, and the problems my friends and family had with Vista, I ain't never gonna switch.
