Ubuntu vs Windows Part 1:
Within the last few months, there have been numerous updates to the awesome open source operating system, that is Ubuntu, and with every update better features, more support for popular devices and constant improvements.
In all the years I have had the misfortune of dealing with windows there was never one point in time where the updates were that fast, with windows it would be only a few per month. The most updates were on a new install, while Ubuntu on the other hand has updated many times in a per week basis, to a point whereby you can almost be sure that just about every 3 days, some part of Ubuntu updates. And with each update you see constant improvement.
Not to mention you can be sure that every day there is someone working on the next update, as there are many who can work with Ubuntu making it a wonderful collaborative effort making it a powerful project that is constantly improved like the internet under regular revision.
With such a constant cycle of updates and improvements as each day passes more and more of the Operating System market is capture by those more interested in an Open Source Ideal. Then being limited to a closed source annoyance that is windows. The thing is that since many of the more popular games had been setup for windows people still must dual boot with windows on the hard drive simply because not all games work with Linux, Yet. In that statement and from my research that is one area that is also being constantly improved.
With Round 1 coming to a close ... seems so far Ubuntu is on top - we're going 12 rounds though so Round 2 is coming soon. :) Thoughts - Share them in the comments.
