I Now Have Open Source Linux Ubuntu 8.10 Alpha 1, Just FYI. I Have Removed The Pictures Of Open Source Linux Ubuntu Alpha 1, From My Blog Since I Am Unsure Whether Posting Those Pictures Is Legal Or Not (It may Violate Microsoft's Rules Even If It Does Not Violate Ubuntu's Rules), Just FYI. 2 Get Alpha 1, All You Need 2 Do Is Create A Ubuntu 8.04 Long Term Support Installation, Install All Available Updates, Then Change The Upgrade Setting In Software Sources From Long Term Support Releases Only, 2 Normal Releases, And Then Type (Sudo Update-Manager -D) From The Terminal Command Prompt In Accessories, Just FYI.

I Just Recently Started Playing Around With Open Source Linux Ubuntu After Having Horrible Luck With Microsoft Windows Vista Service Pack One Ultimate Edition Release 2 Web, An Internet Friend Of Mine That Goes By The User Name Of Alias In Microsoft.Public.Windows.Vista.General Recently Convinced Me 2 Give Open Source Linux Ubuntu A Try, And I Have Now Started Out Trying Their Pre-Release Versions Of Open Source Linux Ubuntu As Well, Just FYI. I Should Probably Change That User Tag 2 Say Something Like Ubuntu Tester Or Ubuntu User, Just FYI.

Just FYI, I never saw someone calling it like this "Microsoft Windows Vista Service Pack One Ultimate Edition Release 2 Web"

Well, come on, cut the poor lad some slack, he is American after all. Land of the free, home of the oh-so-special :)

If you have had problems with Vista SP1 (which is a tested and released package), I find it strange that you would be running development alpha versions of a new OS. :ermm:

It seems that you would almost be guaranteed to end up with more problems than you experienced in production-released Vista.
