Windows XP WTF
I have finally decided after continously receiving weird error messages that does not make any sense and making my PC go all haywire to give up using Windows for good. After the launch of Vista I thought Windows will finally get the better of their OS' faults but no. I'm not using Vista of course since my PC is only Pentium 4, which is already jurassic age technology, but all my friends are using them and not even a single praise was heard, besides its' visually stunning GUI, which is in every bit and sense, very Apple-ish. It's like dressing a cow in a tracksuit - still not going to win any race. Or like the previous general election - despite all the talk of 'election tsunami', BN is still the ruling party and that sorry son-of-a-brat is still the Prime Minister; still the same old shit. I am on the other hand, however, is an XP user and for quite a while, I couldn't find any problem with it. It was very easy to use; it was a lot better than Windows 98; but on the same front, there wasn't any major changes made to the operating system. Well that's what it seems to me (computer geeks please do not begin a Windows XP debate/tutor with me).
What irks me most about Windows (generally) is its vulnerability. It is too easy to be hacked in; too easy to be attacked by virus; too easy to be paralysed by worms and spywares and a host of other things; but also too easy to be removed (reformatted), which is probably the only good thing. And that's what I'm about to do tonight - I'm going to reformat my PC and make it run on a different OS. I once dreamed of owning a Mac and I still does wet myself just at the thought of having a Mac until now. The only stumbling block for me is that they were all too joyfully expensive. Besides my PC is no Power Mac so no Apple for me. The other option I have is either the complicated Linux or the equally mind boggling Unix - which then I opt for Linux because I came upon this what must be a very stunning looking GUI of Ubuntu, an OS that was based on the Linux system. Find more information on Ubuntu yourself (you're reading this blog so you have got to be online) by typing in www.ubuntu.com in your internet browser, or go to Google search and type in 'I'm a computer geek'.
Later I will report whether Ubuntu is THE alternative to Windows.
