  • MrFunStuff, on 04/23/2008, -0/+3Ok so ubuntu is not user friendly because you say duel booting windows users will ask where are my Microsoft Office documents and is there any way I can access them? Where are my MP3 files? Why doesn’t the movie player, that comes packaged with this distribution, play my DVDs??? answer 1In you windows partition , answer 2 in your windows partition ,answers 3 put in a dvd and it will give you the option to download the codec you need on 7.10. There is a difference between User friendly and holding your hand for every little thing.

    Actually, live cds have been available since 4.10 and you've been able to install from the live cd since 6.06. A little basic research would be nice.

    And how does someone who says Ubuntu is too hard get a job writing for ITWire, anyway?
