Liar. Win 95 was vulnerable to viruses, needed constant rebooting,
degragging, reinstalling, etc. No compiz. No multiple workstations. In
short, you're an idiot to have said that and only reveal how little you
know about Windows 95 and Ubuntu.

Very impressive (yawn)

You're about as impressive as Reagan was when he had Alzheimer's disease.

You know, KDE has desktop effects built-in that work as well as
Compiz.

Yeah, I know. It also has a Mac like dock. I prefer plain old Ubuntu.

Out of curiosity, what can you do with win7 that you couldn't do with
win95?

The important thing to remember is that you can't run the most popular
programs with Linux and therefore Linux/Ubuntu is worthless to most. It
doesn't matter about Windows 95.

How about TRYING to stay on topic. I was attempting to find out what the
poster feels he can do with win7 that he could not do with win95. Is that
so difficult to understand?

A number of things such as using modern hardware. Try to find a driver
for a modern video card, for example. With Win7 and Linux, rebooting
like you had to do with Win95 isn't necessary.

Are you interested in purchasing a copy of Windows 95? I still have a
shrink wrapped copy at home.

The poster commented that the list of Linux capabilities by the OP was
'just like win95' - I'm merely interested to see what additional
capabilities he sees in win7 as compared to win95 - that's all - nothing
more.

Take a look at the graphics in Ubuntu and the functionality of the OS. Just
like Windows 95 in technology.

We all know your opinion of Ubuntu. Now, if you can't answer the
question, kindly bug off.
