mrD Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 heres an article making comparisons between ubuntu and windows 7. a cool thing about ubuntu is that you can run it on live dvd so that you can try it out without committing to it being installed on the harddrive. http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/blog/2009/oct/27/ubuntu-koala-windows7-review Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
