Mainstream not moneyhat.

Hasn't most of the gaming press been taking shots at Kinect the past month?  It's just IGN's turn now.  At some point I hope people realize that Microsoft is not marketing this at the true gamers.  Anyone who thinks Kinect (Or Move for that matter) is going to replace how we play core games is dreaming.  It will be fun for a change of pace and gaming in groups.  But how many people would really prefer motion controls while playing Halo, God of War, FF 13, Killzone 3, Infamous, etc.  I know I wouldn't.   

I personally believe motion control gaming is at is best in short burst gameplay and multiplayer settings.  A lot of people complain about Nintendo's "Waggle", but how long do you think most people can make 1:1 arm motions in an action game before their arms turn to jello?

I don't see how anyone can say that Ubuntu is the best os ever made.   I have had several versions of it over the years and while it is a really good OS it is no where near Win7.  

An example:

When I upgraded from Vista ( which was shit), I had no problems whatsoever with the process.  It found all the drivers and everything worked like a charm.  On the other hand when I tried upgrading a couple of computers at work to  Ubuntu 10.4 I had more problems than it was worth.  Finding drivers was an event in its own.  And for a lot of computers you either have to make your own drivers or have someone do it for you.  Good luck with that.  

While Eventually Linux may be better than Windows at some time in the distant future, it is no where near as good right now.  Compatability issues, driver issues and install issues alone should prove to most that 10.4 still has a ways to go.  And until the majority of people use Linux, there will always be issues with compatability.

I disagree I have had zero problems with ubuntu 10 since i changed from windows 7, which oddly enough got really slow to the point where i was shouting at it, and this is with having antivirus, firewall, spyware, and spam protection, at some point i just got really fed up with windows to be honest i can't stand windows anymore and I am realy happy with ubuntu now and no problems finding any drivers, but it does help if you check the compatibility before you change OS

Compatability isn't an issue on Linux  , because its a freeware OS , and that you can always download wine for example it works with Steam games, i have Windows 7 on my work PC, a lot of times it crashes with the simplest stuff (a lot less times than Vista but ALOT compared to Ubuntu) , also its pretty slow and "Heavy" compared,

while the Pros of Win7 is that the a lot of programs feels "Officially" supported when using it, while on ubuntu it thinks that you are using Windows but they both work the same most of the time, also another Con for Windows is the fact that its the only OS with viruses, even though to be honest i've never had a virus all my time using Windows 94 - win7 and in between,i only had was spyware which is another issue as well.

so you saying its the best OS ever is kinda ... you know wrong?

Whaaa??  I upgraded my PC back in early May alongside installing Windows 7, and I think I've restarted my PC once since doing so.  I have yet to have an issue with any slowdown, outside of occasionally having to restart Firefox (which is probably due to the fact that I have like 100 tabs open and Firefox has that silly ram glitch >_>).

Windows 7 is really something else.  I'm incredibly impressed by how streamlined and optimized it is compared to Vista.  It uses less resources for most tasks, and somehow avoids becoming a bloated ram hog the longer you leave your PC on, which was a major problem with older versions of Windows.

I absolutely love it. 

Granted, I haven't had much experience with Linux or OSX to compare.  I plan to format the HDD from my old build and mess around with Ubuntu in the near future, since I've always wanted to check it out.
