Thread: Back to Windows

Yeah, I'm not sure yet.
But I'm seriously thinking about going back to Windows. I have an XP disc and I might just boot it and install XP.
The main reason I switched to Ubuntu is because Vista was so slooooow.
But my computer didn't have the right specs to run Vista smoothly.
I thought about installing Win 7, but everyone I talk to says that XP would be better.
So, what do you think?

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.

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.

Well, I certainly reccomend XP/Windows 7.

Windows 7 has been hailed as the Vista that should have been. I haven't tried it, but what I read about it's speed is very positive.

I love XP. Very reliable.
