I'm not sure what the author is expecting Ubuntu to do here. We can't really preserve Windows applications settings yet. What complete and total bollocks! Fair enough. (For those planning on performing an entirely clean installation of either OS, though, it's a moot point.). It is possible to automatically migrate documents and some fairly generic system settings - Ubuntu does this, for instance - but not the apps themselves. ![]() Another issue may be the fact that while it's possible to install 7 on top of Vista and preserve one's applications and settings, it isn't yet possible to do this in Linux. ![]() An article from Information Week, the type of article that likes to pretend to be balanced and unbiased, caught my eye. Why does the Microsoft press insist on perpetuating this phoney war? Are they that desperate to stave off the mass exodus of Windows users to Linux? Is there a mass exodus? You'd be forgiven for thinking there was given the way some "journalists" are writing these days trying to trumpet the merits of Windows Vista 7.
