InformationWeek writer Serdar Yegulalp wrote a nice article about his experience with Vista<\/a> and Ubuntu<\/a>. He installed and tested them each on three different machines. He starts the article declaring that he is a Vista<\/a> Lover, which is good since he doesn’t come out in the end with an answer of who wins [probably Vista<\/a>].<\/p>\n

His observations and points are well stated and his desire to paint a fair picture is okay. I, however, have to admit that I have been telling people to move to Ubuntu<\/a> instead of Vista<\/a>. He does, go back and forth between Ubuntu 6.10<\/a> [LTS – probably] and 7.04<\/a>. So, I am not sure which version he actually<\/strong> tested, because he says, 7.04<\/a> in the beginning of the article but later talks a lot about 6.10<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I would still recommend Ubuntu<\/a> if one doesn’t want to spend the money on Mac hardware<\/a> for OS X<\/a>.<\/p>\n
