Head To Head. Ubuntu vs Vista

I ordered Ubuntu Live CD, and there it sat for nearly 2 months before I tossed it in the drive to check it out. I Remember thinking how Linux would be like some foreign language. I was shocked to find it all common sense yes no check boxes just like most anything else I'd ever seen in my life. And even more shocked to find the instant difference in speed. PDF files literally fly open like a webpage. Large size areas such as maps or large photos, you are able to coast around without choking and shuddering like Windows. Performance is definitely Ubuntu's primary role in society.
Here is a good head to head match up Ubuntu vs Vista.

Ubuntu Linux
The Ubuntu install process can work automatically (i.e., erase and repartition an entire hard drive as needed), or you can manually edit partitions.

Windows Vista
Vista's setup process is mostly automatic; however, there are some disk-management tools if you need them and the highly useful ability to load drivers for storage devices from removable disks.
