Ease of Access Vs. User Friendly

There is a major difference

Microsoft's Window's Vista is User Friendly and has a general sense of the Ease of Access factor. Linux is much more rigid and has almost neither User Friendly features nor Ease of Access bits.

What needs to be created is a version of Linux that has this Ease of Access factor WITHOUT the User Friendly detail.

As of now, Windows Vista is expensive. I received my copy back in November and have been trying to cut down on the monstrous resource hog. Yeah, Aero is nice, it makes it look all Mac-ed up, but are the resources worth it? Running idle, on my 2Gb of ram, is costing me over 545Mb...while I watch the computer sit there!!

Zubuntu is free of charge, different, and, most importantly, almost free of resource hogginess! As an added bonus you can force almost ANY program (made for Mac or PC) run! The downside of course is that it is not the easier of the two OSs to use! You must use the equivalent of the DOS Command Prompt to do certain things...and force things to work. This works fantastically for those willing to learn the commands and update their computers by themselves, but for those who are used to the computer being this mystical machine that does what they want by clicking on the enormous "X" in the center of the screen, this Linux isn't worth it.

To fully combine the two, only a version of open source Linux is needed! We don't need all the flashy SHIT that Vista or even all the way back to Win 98 comes with! Take Zubuntu, or another compatible version of Linux, and make it do all the //nice// behind the scenes things that Windows does...

I use the term NICE because it is that very system of making things run behind the screen that I am so upset with, and only necessary things need be there.

Make Linux one program... just one... that will run behind everything that will check for updates, fix minor problems, and not leave you with a worthless wireless card! But don't make another Windows...please dear god...

Microsoft's desire for the user friendly has murdered new technology coming out. Dumb asses, people don't buy new computers to show off their flashy OS...they run OTHER programs on their computers...that is what an OS should do...create an Ease of Access to the programs you'd like to run, and operations you'd like to continue running... not having the screen fold out from a paper airplane!
