Windows 7 is nothing more than Vista SP2 with a couple of GUI changes that look a lot like offerings from Linux distros. Windows 7 is a huge install requiring 16Gb and I&#8217;m sorry Don but maybe you should curb your enthusiasm until you actually tried the latest release of Ubuntu&#8230;fully loaded with all the bells and whistles coming in at 4Gb hard drive space, better security, remarkable connectivity and start-up speeds and all the apps you could ever want for free. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>And a response that gave me a good chuckle:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>by weedmonk January 22, 2009 1:37 PM PST<br \/>\nWhen will FOSS advocates learn you can&#8217;t shove Linux down consumers throats with the zeal of Bolshevism.
