Vista vs Fedora - video

[+Elі Subscriber²]

Some people can be really mean, I think both videos are great and show exactly how both OSes look at the moment, I enjoyed them both, They are not just the same boring screenshots that everyone has seen a million times. thank you.

Knock off the "xxxxx sucks" comments. :crazy:

It is a clear violation of rule #7 (link, for the rule-impared), and is flame-bait.

Waste of thread. Waste of time. :sleep:

[Commodore Max]

I agree. That was completely useless.

You guys ever realize somebody might have a use for a video like that? Maybe they want crisp screenshots, not anything watered down, OR a specific screenshot of a certain window. Eg. Vista's Services MMC Snap-In. Some people look forward to changing things important to their system to make it work better.

Some nice transitions / screen-captures.

Will always be looking foward to Vista. :happy:

three songs actually, the install shots use one song, the next bit uses another and the chess bit and onwards is a third track

i'm guessing that the 'song' you like on the Vista Video is

DJ Stigma - MindWalkers - The Future

which just so happens to be the middle song (after the install shots) and I agree, it's a great song :-)

when i created that video i wanted the OS screenshots to 'come out at you' and i also wanted the music to reflect that, which i why i chose 'The Future', to reflect that Windows Vista is the future for Microsoft.

Why compare Fedora to Windows?

Fedora: Used by 0.02% of PC Users

Windows: Used by about 90% of PC Users

What is the "Future" of Fedora? The answer also starts with an F. I'm not going there neowinians. ;)

actually this was my 'first run' of Windows Vista 5219

way shorter that the link posted by the starter of this thread but perhaps interesting to some.

linux-noob.com runs on Fedora

i use fedora and windows daily, fedora is a fast evolving distro in the linux world (changing every 6 months or so)

windows on the other hand has not had a 'major' os change since windows xp, so comparing fedora and windows vista is good !

Actually, I question the logic a completely different way... Vista is still in beta, and won't be released for about a year. Fedora is a stock product, out today. Most Vista screenshots and clips are about the visual style and eyecandy. Precious little is on the substance (most of which is not visible to the user) of important changes and features in the OS.

So, yeah. Looking at a beta eyecandy of a future product, and comparing it to a stock released distro available today (and not one that even cares much about dropshadows and transparent windows) is kind of odd.

I guess a comparison of Vista to Sun's JDS (that had demoed last year or so the 3-D windows, and virtual CD collection you could rotate through) would be the comparison most on equal ground. But most 'comparisons' like this don't bother to do that. Plus, many Windows people criticized the eyecandy of JDS as pointless, but you hear much more positive comments about it now that it is planned in a Microsoft product. I stay out of that stuff, because I don't like it on any platform. :p

Since half of the Fedora video covers installation can we assume that you're trying to say Fedora's biggest feature is the installation? I think I'll stick with Vista ...

[crazzyyfool]

What is the codec used in the videos. I cannot play them. GRRRR :no:

This might be becuse installing linux used to be the biggest problems for new users? This shows this is not so anymore.

Fedors is great.

windows media player 10 will play it just fine

and gmplayer/mplayer will play it in linux using 'opengl' as the video output

Interesting concept, but the zoom and pan effects were overused and gave me a headache. This would be better as a browseable slideshow with some sleek transitions.

while it's true that fedora's installation is rather long winded it's also FULL of choices. You can decide what to install or what not to install, you can decide if you want a text based install or full gui install, you can decide to be a server or a personal desktop, and much much more. It's rather sad that any hope of that happening in Windows Vista is only a dream. In other words, you are stuck with whatever Microsoft decides to install, and it's quite likely that after the install is done that you cannot uninstall some of the stuff whether you like it or not, ala outlook express/Internet Explorer.

Regarding installation... Perhaps that's why Linux installs are considered to be so cumbersome by average users?

Regarding componentization in Vista... why not wait and see?

[Kupo-Cheer]

I just have to add in the whole "OMG Vista is just a beta you noob" post here. Seriously, look how much any windows installation changes over the course of its birthing into finality. I'm sure the installer for Vista will be much better, although I'm also sure that like all other versions of Windows, no, it will not be perfect.
