What was negative about your experience with Microsoft?
everything on windox xp home is complete bloatware, and certain components that are "unnecessary" won't allow you to delete. Not a lot of freedom. i've had problems in the past of burning cds and then when i put the cd back in only the items I recently burned are on the cd. it give me problems my apple never gave me. I honestly hate microsoft. and then microsft office - it came outdated adn it costs hundreds of dolllars to update or to buy. no, i'd rather not deal with it at all.
This is handled by synaptics he does not even have to worry instead, know the software.It even gives explanationsome programs wont work with it because it linux, quite alot of apps are writen for linux, you need to download the right file.
No not at all, i've seen people that knows sh*t but still find their way around ubuntu. He will have to learn terminal commands though as they will be useful.you will need to do a small bit of programming but most of what you need can be found online.

This is why you go and buy Windows XP PROFESSIONAL.
although Ubuntu is a good OS, some programs wont work with it because it linux, quite alot of apps are writen for linux, you need to download the right file. you will need to do a small bit of programming but most of what you need can be found online.

What? There are few differences between Home and Professional.
that's my point, from the stuff i have done with Ubuntu some terminal commands can be a few lines long, and typing in commands like that is programming.No not at all, i've seen people that knows sh*t but still find their way around ubuntu.

That is why Ubuntu and other Debian based Linux Distros use the magically awesome package manager APT. It will download and install all prerequisite softwares for whatever package you are trying to install. The only problem is, not all the repositories are up to date, so some stuff you do have to install manually.
If you want to run windows apps on linux you need WINE.

thats the thing i dont get about linux, why do you have to manually install stuff, all apps should have a file (like a .exe) the you click and it install itself.
yeah but can you run games like crysis though WINE, i doubt it

WTHBBQ????? LOL!Correct the only differences are, Pro has built in remote desktop support, and the ability to connect to a domain level network (ie it can be bound to an AD server) and I think a few command line applications are more robust on Pro. However, I am sure you can install the CLI apps as an extra install on Home.
Otherwise they are pretty much the same OS.
