On July 15, April 29, UBUNTU 10.04 (LTS) was released, but it was a little messy. This is not a good omen for XP. Why? On a computer that has already installed XP, if you reinstall Ubuntu10.04 to create a new system, the original XP disappeared (it means there is no XP entry in GRUB2, which is undoubtedly a big Bug in GRUB2 ). From this, we can guess that,
On October 11, April 29, the release of Ubuntu 10.04 (LTS) was a little messy, which is not a good sign for XP. Why?
On a computer that has already installed XP, if you re-install the new Ubuntu 10.04 system (as a so-called "dual-system startup"), then, the original XP disappeared (it means there is no XP entry in GRUB2, which is undoubtedly a big Bug in GRUB2 ). As a result, we can guess that Ubuntu 10.04 is unfriendly to XP (rather than working as a partner ). This is not a good sign for XP. See Michael Larabel's article April 29 "Ubuntu 10.04 Hit By Major Bug; ISOs Now Being Re-Spun (repackaging )".
In April 28, Phoronix, a well-known "nerd" lab, published the actual test data, confirming that the startup time of Ubuntu 10.04 was only 9.10 of version 1/3, which was a great improvement. If it is started on the netbook, for example, on Dell Mini 9, the start time is within 20 seconds. If it is started on a high-end PC, for example, on the dual AMD quad-core Opterons and a high-end ocz ssd computer, the startup time can be controlled within 10 seconds. In fact, Ubuntu 10.04 Beta 2 is only started for 20 seconds on my new computer.
Why do we say that the release of Ubuntu 10.04 will lead to a major change on the desktop of computers? It comes down to one sentence: in a comprehensive sense, Ubuntu 10.04 caught up with XP and is better than XP (Strong) and XP (Excellent) than Win 7. Free Software is better than common commercial software, which is the first time in the past. In this way, the problem has come out, especially in China. People will naturally ask, why should XP users continue to use pirated software? Why not try Ubuntu 10.04? Of course, things won't be that simple. As we all know, changing the operating system is not an easy task. Many applications will hold us down. However, this is not an insurmountable difficulty (or an insurmountable problem ).
In the future, if we have a new version of Ubuntu 10.04 in our hands, we will keep hitting XP ). Microsoft has forced XP users to upgrade. We have made every effort to speak bad words about XP, promoting (or accelerating) The progress (evolution) of the entire IT industry ). This is a big change. Now, the objective situation has changed. We don't have to say "XP users are still XP users", so we can start a tough fight against XP.
At this morning, the official Ubuntu website announced that Ubuntu 10.04 was still released on time, and the startup Bug was fixed. The announcement said: "It's time for a change. your computer can be better-It can be faster, fun and easier to use. "In fact, this sentence is what I want to say now, especially" It's time for a change "(now It's time to change. I feel free of mind. Let's settle accounts with XP!
