I love the 3D effects, for instance when you change the desktop, as OSX.
Over the install you can choose to import a Windows XP session, ubuntu self-mount your partition.
It is March 1st, and my Windows 7 Release Candidate (the test version) expired today.
I have used MS Windows since Windows '95, but I never directly purchased a copy for installation on a system. I had the fortune of getting them for FREE from trashed systems given to me. By the time the operating system reached my hands, it was the most stable version of Windows. Meanwhile, others were pulled their hairs with the latest version of it.
When I realized that Windows 7 available for testing, I immediately jumped for the opportunity and downloaded it (again for free) for my desktop. I tried Ubuntu simultaneously, but I never successfully found and installed the driver for my wireless ethernet adapter, so I gave up on the 8.10.
Now that Microsoft metaphorically pulled the rug from right underneath my faithful ginuea pig computer, without any form of a formal "Thank you Mr. Ginuea Pig" or a discount for helping test latest OS, I am left with a sour taste in my mouth. Like many of you (who chose the lesser evil: Apple), I refuse to purchase Windows 7 or any future Microsoft OS.
Now, I am revisiting Ubuntu with it's latest edition: 9.10.
"IMPRESSED" is an understatement on my feelings about this new system. Finding and installing the driver for my wireless adapter was very simple (and didn't involve the terminal this time of course). What gets me very excited about 9.10 is the availability of FREE applications and the integration with Google apps like Reader, Calendar, and Talk. Also, all of those apps are available as extensions for Google's Browser: Chrome, which was easy to install, too. Since the bookmarks are always sync'd in the cloud, I never missed a favorite link...that's comforting!
This screenshot was uploaded with Flickr for Ubuntu. Thanks to the "Software Center", I didn't even have to visit the Flickr website to download an installation package and delete the executable (to free up space). The "Software Center" handled the entire process beautifully.
Another thing: I installed Ubuntu on a separate drive and it retrieved all pertinent settings like documents, media, and even desktop background from the Windows 7 folder. All of the important things looked and felt familiar, which is comforting.
Until Google's Operating System: Chromium is released, Ubuntu 9.10 is as close as it gets to having a powerful Google desktop. I only wish I discovered 9.10 a little sooner.
The desktop which is running from my Ubuntu phone (the Nexus 4) via the HDMI (plus Bluetooth keyboard and mouse).
There are still some problems: the 1900x1200 screen is being recognized as 1900x1080 and the font is non-configurabe (and too huge) but the whole thing is in development.

Installation took hours! Just had to install and see how the Eee PC performs. There are a few kinks (no WiFi at first!) but all seems well now...
Ubuntu is ready to do the extra 700% for you. (It was actually still working when I grabbed this screencap, so it probably did much more than 700% extra. That installation was REALLY done.)
