Thread: Back to Windows

What do you miss from Windows that Ubuntu isn't yet supporting?

Definetly compatibilty.
The games that are for Linux aren't that great, and several programs that I like aren't for Linux and WINE doesn't support them very well, if at all.

Well if you would actually tell us your computer's specs, we might be able to tell you, if you should go XP or 7.

I'm not at home right now, on a school computer.
But I'm pretty sure I have 1GB of RAM, but that's really all I can remember about it.
I'd have to check it when I get home.

Go for XP. Installing Vista was the biggest mistake I ever made.

Of course you can always have a dual boot option so that you can boot up in windows or Linux.

I would but I really don't want to split my harddrive.
Plus, I really wouldn't have any reason to keep Linux because all the programs I'll be using work fine on Linux.

Reading the sticker on the front of my computer....
Intel Pentium Dual-Core Processor E2140
1024MB of memory
250GB Hard drive

XP. In my experience with it it will do everything you need, and it's reliable.

I would definitely recommend upgrading your RAM.

Also, if you want speed, look into TinyXP, it's on all 4 of my computers.

Install both, and just boot to Windows when you want to play a game that runs badly under WINE.
