Windows Vista

Ubuntu founder Mark Shuttleworth has unveiled a canny plan to finally drive mass-adoption of the user-unfriendly and geeky Linux operating system on the desktop.
Shuttleworth had the following comments to make at O’ Reilly’s OSCON conference this week:
“I think the great task in front of us in the next two years is to lift the experience [...]

One of the very few things I do miss about living in Linux is escaping a world full of viruses, malware and spyware that keeps on infesting machines running on all versions of Microsoft Windows.
After running Ubuntu Linux on my primary machine for a year, I came to take for granted the fact that I [...]

I can’t think of a better example to demonstrate how Ubuntu/Linux is still stuck in the 80’s/early 90’s in terms of computing than by putting forward the flawed implementation of audio in the Open Source Operating System.

In comparison to Uncle Bill’s OS, getting your computer up and running with any kind of Linux distribution requires many long days and sleepless nights to perfect - a lifestyle choice designed solely for [...]

Hey now! This is the first of what I hope will be many posts in the future at my tech blog home on Lockergnome.
