I think it's a fair article. He shat himself at having to tweak xorg.conf (I
did too). He cannot play windows games...well d'uh. But he seems to be
basing most of the ugly stuff on his 64-bit installation. 

IMHO, the 64 bit version is nowhere near as complete as the 32-bit and ONLY
works on AMD's AFAIK.... I think a fairer test would be to stick one of my
idiot computer operators in front of a workstation with ubuntu and one with
windows Vista.  Personally, I think the idiot would love Vista. ;-)

Still. Fair article. I think it was "too" comparative to windows. Perhaps
that was the point of it!
