Yup, the best of BOTH worlds is a good thing. These people who wanna
make one choose one or the other are a bunch of biased morons, and are
suspect of paid shilling and the like.
You are correct about the speed of 64bit along with ext4, as this new
test machine ROCKS with Ubuntu 64bit installed. The speed of application
startup and so on is astounding! Win7 is pretty spunky as well which is
a plus for my Winders needs. (Which is very minimal.) Let the shills say
what they will, but on this machine dual booting Win7 64bit, and Ubuntu
64bit, Ubuntu wins with speed and efficiency, plus using the better part
of Compiz, compared to Winders desktop effects.
I still maintain, and will not let go the idea that if Winders adopted
some of the better parts of Compiz effects, (And/Or OSX) they would have
a winner as far as desktop effects are concerned. As it is, most of the
clunky effects they have now are mostly a joke. Most people could care
less who came up with what, as long as they have the excellent effects
that help them get things done! LOL, but then Microsoft has a real
problem with actually writing software originating from them. Usually
they have to STEAL it from someone or another, LOL. (Just take a look at
the lawsuits!..Not to mention their history in general! LOL. LOL, LOL!)
...Still, they could at least do SIMILAR useful Compiz effects, and just
adsorb the biased critical BS. AGAIN, MOST people could care less who
came up with what, what they want is what works. BUT the self centered,
self important, moronic, dick-weeds better known as Microsoft
Corporation, thinks they know better. Well, as a result of their
arrogance, I truly hope they fall flat on their face eventually, as most
arrogant people do. Time will tell; I see that a great many people are
nothing more than sheep, blindly following each other. .. How sad for
them.. Blindly following morons, making them morons? ..LOL!
G'day
