Here's a pic of Ubuntu Linux and the Gnome Desktop running Windows XP in a VirtualBox. Who needs Windows 7 Pro or Ultimate with XP mode now?!!?

Are you still using this system Sith? Does it work any better than Windows?

I have separate hard drives running Windows 7, and Ubuntu 10.04 (and I still have my 9.10 installed on a hard drive as well).

Is it better than Windows... Depends on what you do with a PC... Do you use/need stuff like Microsoft Office? do you game on a PC? Odds are Windows is right for the typical home user, and I like Windows 7... I just do specific things on Linux (Handbrake Matroska encoding and Virtual Box testing of Windows applications).

I don't do a lot of gaming.. much more with MS Office than anything else... i guess i fall into the typical home user catergory. It was just interesting to see here since my ex used it too.. i never asked him about any of his stuff so i was curious when i saw the topic here.
