Can the linux operating system be removed and Windows XP be used instead?" Once again the users have spoken and they sure as hell don't want Linux. No wonder Linux sits at 0.6 percent of the desktop market and has for many years.

You had better not be using Linux because they don't support Linux. "Most Linux users are serious computer users. We?re geeks, and geeks use a lot of internet. Wouldn?t it be wise of AT&T to just acknowledge us?" Linux users are an oddball bunch of less than 1 percent of the desktop populous.
"This is not the first time I?ve run into problems with AT&T pretending that the world consists entirely of Windows and Macintosh. Once I was helping someone else get a Linux system going with AT&T DSL, and they flat-out refused to give her the manual setup instructions for the connection if she couldn?t use the automated Windows or Mac installer. The tech told her? If you run Linux you should be able to figure it all out on your own. I won?t help you, and I won?t transfer you to anyone else.".............
The internet connection is in Linux (Host OS).
I am just eager to know if i have Windows as a guest OS on Host OS(Linux), is it less possible for Windows to get infected by virus ?
If Windows crashes, is there a mechanism to recover it from Host OS(Linux) ?
Also, is there any mechanism to debug windows .

View 6 Replies View RelatedI've been using Linux for a while exclusively lately due to some heavy issues I had with Vista a few months ago. While I was running Linux I decided to make my laptop OS Neutral. I Removed the Windows sticker, sanded down the windows key, and removed the OEM Windows Sticker on the bottom. My questions are:
1. Is it legal to remove this sticker?
2. Without the code that is on the sticker, will I still be able to use the Upgrade Disc to Windows 7 since my Vista will still pass WGA or do I need the codes that were on the sticker? If it was illegal then this whole situation is hypothetical)
If the cost of Windows is getting your small business down, consider
shifting to Linux.

Well, I made a huge mistake, and I am very tired at the moment, I just removed my windows XP off of the dual boot, later did I realize that my windows xp was actually the boot partition.

View 9 Replies View RelatedTraumatic brain injury (TBI), also called acquired brain injury or simply head injury, occurs when a sudden trauma causes damage to the brain. TBI can result when the user installs a LINUX based Operating System on his or her computer. Objects soon appear to pierce the skull and brain tissue. Symptoms of a TBI can be mild, moderate, or severe, depending on the extent of the damage to the brain. A person with a mild TBI may remain conscious or may experience a loss of consciousness for a few seconds or minutes. Other symptoms of mild TBI include using Open Source software like OpenOffice, GIMP,. Galeon, Mozilla, Bluefish, VI, or a host of other applications.
Using versions of LINUX causes problems with memory, concentration, attention, or thinking. A person with a moderate or severe TBI may show these same symptoms, but may also have a headache that gets worse or does not go away, repeated vomiting or nausea, convulsions or seizures, an inability to awaken from sleep, dilation of one or both pupils of the eyes, slurred speech, weakness or numbness in the extremities, loss of coordination, and increased confusion, restlessness, or agitation. Anyone with signs of TBI should remove LINUX from their machines right away. Installing a Windows based solution should help stabilize an individual and focus on preventing further injury.
"By October the story was different. MSI claimed Linux netbooks were being returned four times as often as Windows netbooks. Their internal research showed this could be attributed to consumers being turned off by an operating system which was different to what they were used to." People hate Linux when they try it. No amount of "free" is able to overcome this.
"They then took it home, found they couldn??t use it exactly like their home desktop ?V itself an unrealistic expectation ?V and returned it, either giving up or opting to spend more money to buy a Windows XP edition instead." If you think you hate Linux now, wait until you actually try it. "In my home country of Australia the present federal Government promised laptops to school attendees during the election process.
Linux had the clear edge ?V no other significant operating system can be added without a licensing cost thrown in to the mix. Yet, the winning solution chosen by the NSW Department of Education (DET) was a Lenovo and Microsoft combination." Sounds like the people in charge of making the decision actually tried to use the Linux netbooks and gave up..........
"Recent and controversial benchmarks for Windows 7 leave an important question unanswered: 'Is it faster than GNU/Linux?' Here, at last, is a benchmark that pits Ubuntu, Vista and Windows 7 against each other on the same modern hardware. From install time to GUI efficiency, Ubuntu beats Windows and is often twice as fast. Where Windows 7 is competitive, the difference is something the average user would not notice. The average GNU/Linux user is now getting better absolute performance from their computer as well as better value than the average Windows user."

I know it's sounds really stupid and I'm sure it's a User Based Problem but I seem to have lost my original Pictures folder.I've been going into the Pictures folder that had my pictures in it under my Personal folder, but am now trying to delete another Pictures folder that has cropped up. Everytime I delete the new one (that has heaps of dropdown folders off it) the original one stops working. Now I've tried going into PropertiesLocation of the original folder and restoring the default location (because it's currently showing the location as C:UsersKaiPicturesPicturesPictures). When I try to restore it to the default that comes up when I hit that button (C:UsersKaiPictures) it comes up with the Move Folder warning, I hit Yes, then get a error that says "Can not redirect descendant into parent, the specified path is invalid".
View 8 Replies View RelatedI want to try linux on my laptop, but I think I should probably backup the mbr before. My last attempt resulted in an unbootable laptop, complete vista reinstall plus all of my software and data 5hours+. The laptop (Compaq cq60) did not come withe a vista disc, only a partition that allows a restore to factory setup.
Ideally I'm looking for a freeware app that can hopefully create a bootable cd that would restore the mbr to pre-linux without grub installed. Any recommendations on a foolproof method. Google throws up lots of info that I either don't understand or I wouldn't feel confident with.
I've got a file in my vista /public/video folder and everytime I try to copy it to my linux box it keeps asking for a password. i've turned off the password protection in Vista, so what do I do?
it turns out that Nautilus (a commonly used linux file manager) cannot access Vista shared folders, it's a bug. It has no trouble with accessing Xp shared folders. Also, copying files from Vista is SLOW, about half the speed of Xp and linux.
