An interesting reply from the Ubuntu Forum

Thanks to the replies from many friends, the laptop has been taken back. windows is installed, and there is no way to install linux. Let me talk about the situation in my notebook. 1. The company provides sufficient protection to install important windows patches on time (Force installation). Therefore, the existing windows vulnerabilities are almost fixed! The anti-virus software of mcafee is installed, so the computer is still safe. I installed 3721 by mistake by mm. I hit the rogue software for the first time and had no experience. I downloaded a bunch of so-called kill software,

Thanks to the replies from many friends, the laptop has been taken back. windows is installed, and there is no way to install linux. Let me talk about the situation in my notebook.

1. The company provides sufficient protection to install important windows patches on time (Force installation). Therefore, the existing windows vulnerabilities are almost fixed! The anti-virus software of mcafee is installed, so the computer is still safe. I installed 3721 by mistake by mm. I hit the rogue software for the first time and had no experience. I downloaded a bunch of software that claimed to be able to kill the rogue software. However, I am worried that these so-called anti-rogue software may be rogue software. It is rumored that Microsoft has come up with a software program that can remove rogue software. Think about Microsoft's credibility. I spent half a day on my machine, saying that no rogue software was found. I accidentally fell into Microsoft's ecstasy and fainted! I searched for a bunch of evaluations and said the rabbit was good. Then I killed 3721 with the rabbit. It is not surprising.

2. XP supports clear type, which is similar to fonts in linux. After the startup, I couldn't see anything clearly, so I had to change it back. I had to endure XP for a few days, but I couldn't bear it. I went to Microsoft's site and turned to the next day. I sent an email to my students and complained a few times. Finally I found out what kind of software is in powertoy, you can modify some clear type settings and it looks much better. But don't expect him to be able to make adjustments in Linux. I didn't expect windows to do anything.

3. The Tahoma font of XP is too ugly, so deju and Bitstream fonts under linux have been tested. God bless, Linux should not sue me for piracy. However, the font on the windows interface cannot be changed. I can only change the font in firefox. I have low requirements!

4. Simsun is also very ugly. I don't know whether the ttf font of wenquanyi can be used in windows. Recently, I have been busy working and have no time to worry about it.

5. There is no virtual desktop in Windows by default. I like to open many Windows. The virtual desktop in gnome is very convenient for me. Download a tool named powertoy to provide the virtual desktop function. However, every time you switch the desktop, You need to maximize and minimize all the programs. Every time you switch the desktop, I almost spent my eyes. Search online for half a day, find a very good tool, vitual dimension, open-source tool. Why are there so few open-source tools in windows? If you find a few tools, you need money. I almost wrote one myself.

6. cygwin can provide most UNIX tools under windows. It is a very good tool. With cygwin, I can also use tools such as cssag and ctags. I will talk about them later. Cygwin also has an xwindows version. Although the version is not very new, it is an open-source implementation. Windows is also commercially available, such as exceed and xwin32, but it does not provide a complete runtime environment like cygwin. Although the company has exceed license, I have not used it. Cygwin performance is slightly inferior to exceed but flexible.

7. After obtaining the new notebook, the mail server also switches to the new exchange 2003. My previous email server supports IMAP and has not been transferred yet, so at the beginning, use outlook to send and receive emails. Outlook 2003 is much better than outlook 2000, but this outlook almost throws me. I am not complaining by myself. Most of my colleagues from 2000 to 2003 are also complaining. Outlook functions seem to be a lot of done, but in the mail itself, it is relatively weak.

First of all, I like the emails I sent and can automatically cc myself. In this way, I can know the emails that I get replies. Of course, you can also say that you didn't send it in the sent folder, but not all emails in it need it. Such a simple function seems to have other functions in outlook 2000, but not 2003. Most of my colleagues' complaints also come here. I spent half a day on msdn and wrote a VBA program to solve the problem. Later, we found that a simpler method was to use rules. Even so, it is too complicated for a common user.

Second, thunderbird has a good function: add the person you reply to your address book, so that you can easily find it when you write a letter next time. The address book of outlook must have the last name. Oh, I am in a company with hundreds of thousands of people around the world. I want to remember the last names of Americans, the surnames of Indians are basically the same as 10 letters, and it takes me to spell them out completely. It took me 20 minutes to find someone that I used to find in just one second. I can't bear it. As a result, a company provided a plug-in for a half-day online search, asking for $39. I was so angry that I was reluctant to use pirated software, so I wrote a VBA program myself. I am not very familiar with this VBA. It took me a long time to complete it. As a result, I felt that every piece of software in windows needs money. It's just such a bad thing that I want 39 dollars.

Finally, find the email I need. I have more than 200 emails each day, and I often discuss some questions. When I arrive, dozens of emails are about one topic. The search function provided by thunderbird allows me to find what I need in 1 second, but outlook. I was not expecting him to do this. The search function is useless and there is no other available. I gave up here.

Here, I am almost a master of outlook. This outlook 2003 is not a waste of food, but also a disability. My classmate developed exchange 2007 at Microsoft's R & D center in the United States. With free support, he can achieve today's results. Other common users have a bad word. By the way, according to my classmates, outlook 2007 has provided a function similar to thunderbird. I know that I cannot use outlook 2007 to speak out.

7. Microsoft office is a very good product. Of course I am talking about word and excel. There is still a gap between openoffice and yongzhong. However, people don't need money. You need hundreds of copies, which is not much better than others. Office is good, but the installation programs under windows are really not general water. One day, when the xls file is opened, the installation window pops up. I guess every windows user has encountered it. So wait for him to finish the installation. Then open an XLS file (the XLS is in uppercase), and then install it again. Why is this office so silly? I don't know that xls and XLS are file types. As a result, the installation will not be able to go down. It's silly. I can reinstall it. Delete all office programs. Then go to the program files and application data directory and check out a bunch of office programs. Why can't the installer delete all the spam? I don't know which ones are useful or useless. I deleted a bunch of them manually, but I still recovered them.

8. There is basically no way to use the volume let in gnome in windows. Gnome's release Let provides me with enough convenience. I read rss and reminded me of new emails to display system resources. Alas, under windows, I basically gave up. Later I saw that yahoo provided a widget. In view of the first authentication of 3721, I hesitated for a long time and did not even dare to try it. In Ubuntu, you can even delete the entire system one by one, but in windows, I don't understand why the windows Installation Program, after each deletion, leave a pile of garbage. Let alone stray software. Of course, I know the reason. Due to the COM structure, windows dll cannot be deleted.

9. I don't know what the netizen said. Linux is a perfect system with a bunch of junk software. It is estimated that he has never really used the software, so he is too reluctant to justify it. Some software is difficult to use, but the more you like it. I still use vim and emacs for editing software. I use both of them and each has its own characteristics. However, in windows, vim and emacs are much slower than in Linux. It takes almost twice as much time to start. The reason is unknown. Many people recommend Ultraedit, .. Haha. It is similar to the notepad under gnome. The emergency response is okay. You can use it every day!

I use filezilla on the ftp client. filezilla is much better than gftp in Linux. I have never used flashfxp. However, flashfxp requires money and I don't like it. Filezilla is open-source and free of charge. It has all the features I need and is fast. There is no reason for me to switch to flashfxp.
