Ubuntu 7.04 to 8.10 Benchmarks: Is Ubuntu Getting Slower?
It ain’t just Vista. Just a few days away from the launch of Ubuntu 8.10, Phoronix benchmarked several versions of Ubuntu.
Major slowdowns after Ubuntu 7.04 “Feisty Fawn” in so many different tests certainly weren’t what we had expected.

Windows 7 Looking Like a June 2009 Delivery
Publicly, Microsoft has said Windows 7, the successor operating system to the firm’s much maligned Windows Vista, will not ship until early 2010, but its internal calendar has June 3, 2009 as the planned release date, InternetNews.com has learned.
Windows 7 Looking Like a June 2009 Delivery
Wow. I mean……….WOW. We pretty much knew that Windows 7 would be “Vista Re-loaded” but this, if true, would confirm that. Is Microsoft right on this? Is Vista’s name so tarnished that it’s necessary? Glad you stuck with XP? Upset you spent $ on Vista now? I would like to hear your thoughts.
