A Vista vs. Linux Matchup - Part 4 (DesktopLinux.com)

[Posted February 22, 2007 by cook]

Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols compares the MEPIS distribution to Microsoft Vista in part four of an article series. "In the last episode, the question was how each operating system would work, or not, with the hardware on my HP Pavilion Media Center TV m7360n PC. The answer was that neither OS worked perfectly with the computer, but Ubuntu/MEPIS -- yes, the Linux system -- actually worked better with the PC than did Vista. In no small part, that was because Vista's built-in DRM (digital rights management) gets in the way of viewing or listening to high-quality video or music." Dare we say: "Hasta la Vista®, Baby"?
