| A Vista vs. Linux Matchup |
Jan. 25, 2007
In this multi-part series, DesktopLinux.com columnist and operating system curmudgeon Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols pits Microsoft's latest wares -- Vista -- against Linux's fair haired boy -- Ubuntu -- to see how the pinnacle of commercial desktop operating systems stacks up against the free, community developed-Linux upstart.
"My first decision was to acquire a new system. I think almost anyone -- unless they have a loaded gaming system -- will make the same decision," Vaughan-Nichols writes. "The folks up in Redmond can tell you until they turn blue in the face that Vista Premium Ready needs only a 1 GHz 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x64) processor, 1 GB of system memory, and a graphic card with support for DirectX 9 graphics, a WDDM (Windows Display Driver Model) driver, and 128 MB of graphics memory. They lie like rugs."
Find out what happens when Vista meets Linux on the playing field of an HP Pavilion Media Center TV m7360n. Read the first part of this sure-to-be entertaining series, here:
