Ubuntu - Flock & The Journey

I just have had an opportunity to catch up on things, and there is more coming soon ... this is only a first blog post along with flock, and we shall see how it goes. The big question is how many use Flock and would you set it as your default?

I think to really make that change from Firefox which I have been quite happy with, with it's diverse selection of add-ons and the fact that it updates regularly not to mention, that the beauty of Open Source is quite apparent and very flexible.

Also why I have made the decision to transfer over to Ubuntu instead of dealing with Windows Vista, we shall see how well Windows 7 comes about, but honestly I would guess, that I will not change back to Closed Source because it is far more interesting. And the development cycle is fast and direct there is always ways to modify it or update it.

I like the flexibility that Ubuntu offers and yet this is just my beginning experiences in something that is not Windows or Microsoft it is nice to get away from Closed Source and yet to many games still follow the standard. Still uses DirectX and that is frustrating, to try and escape the circumstance and the limitation.

There is talk that windows 7, when it comes out will be closer to standards and may actually not require a different renderer, and perhaps it would make buildintg websites easier. Speculation is easy it is the rest of the story that must be explored. When it comes out, I would much rather be able to try it before paying for it.

The cost can be prohibitive and it may not be worth it, seeing as you bought it though it is more likely you will stay with it. Not to mention the frustration that the activation has always been and continues to be one of the main frustrations and annoyances that seems to be par for Microsoft and it's story.

The point being that really the best strategy is to steer clear of Microsoft and focus on Open Source because that works out better for most individuals who have the opportunities to explore something that is completely separate from most anything else.

That is my choice, what would be the choice you would make? Are you happy with Microsoft's Closed Source, instead of exploring Open Source? Of Course the Choice is yours, so share your thoughts:
