Yes, heard that Windows 7 will have a XP mod, at CNET, yesterday.
But it doesnt matter.
Linux Rocks for me. Windows XP also.

As far as Ubuntu Jaunty stability, ext4 is not the default file system for a reason. ext3, or even ext2, are better choices for stability.

Now I'm trying Windows 7 RC and I'm liking it a whole lot more than Vista. Bear in mind that the average PC user is happy to point-and-click and have what they expected to happen - to happen, and quickly. My decision to try W7RC was prompted by its availability to try - not by reputation. Unlike many, I like to form my own opinions. I've never tried Linux/Ubuntu etc., so I obviously cannot speak comparatively, but maybe when my resources allow (a PC to mess around with) I'll give them a look.
Cheers!

Microsoft can't risk the ire of software developers, most of whom still make programs in 32-bit.
"Google Chrome OS is an open source, lightweight operating system that will initially be targeted at netbooks" and "most of the user experience takes place on the web." That is, it's "Google Chrome running within a new windowing system on top of a Linux kernel" with the web as the platform. It runs on x86 processors (like your standard Core 2 Duo) and ARM processors (like inside every mobile smartphone). Underneath lies security architecture that's completely redesigned to be virus-resistant and easy to update.
Again, appearing in a little yellow bordered box on his desktop: "How's that Windows system working out for you now sport?" For good measure, I opened about 12 incidences of his desktop calculator and choked his 2 gigs of memory to a crawl.
By then, the kid had caught on. The sound of initiating applications was still dinging on his computer. He all but flung his laptop onto the love seat and came stomping over to the where we were seated.
"You put a virus on my computer?"
I just smiled at him.
"No pal...YOU put a virus on your computer. And it's a trojan, an OLD trojan. A Power User should know the difference. If you had any kind of protection at all, it would have warned you. You were dumb enough to click on a program given to you by a complete stranger so welcome to the world of social engineering Dilbert."
