There is no easy way to "switch" from one operating system to another. The easiest thing is to install Windows 7 over the Ubuntu installation if you do not want Ubuntu anymore. Back up any data you have first before you do this because otherwise it will be lost in the install process.

What operating systems are compatible for the different platforms of computer?

Depends on what kind of hardware you are starting out with first off. If you have a macbook or powerbook, you can run Mac OS X with no issues. If its a powerbook, you're pretty much stuck there unless you want to try ppc Linux which I've never been fond of. If its a macbook (has an Intel processor) you can put any flavor of windows on it, any Linux, pretty much what ever you feel. If you are starting out with a PC laptop or desktop, your simplest bet is a flavor of windows. If you have a fairly new computer, hop on Windows 7, its not great but beats the hell out of vista any day. You also have the option of a Linux distribution (ubuntu, suse, kubuntu is the best from my experience). And if you really want to play around, you can even put OS X on your PC but you'll have to Google around for that one, not sure if answers.com would condone talking about that here.

Why should you run Linux instead of another operating system?

There are many reasons why users choose to use Linux over other popular operating systems such as Windows, Macintosh, or even other Unix-like systems. Here are some key reasons:Cost: Linux distributions are provided as free (as in freedom) software. Not only are Linux distributions free, but they give users freedom to do (almost) anything they want with the software, including sharing it with someone else.Freedom: While reverse-engineering or modifying Windows and Macintosh is downright illegal, it is actually encouraged for Linux users. While this applies equally to other free software projects, Linux is chosen for a combination of reasons. Other times, users do not trust Microsoft and Apple, which are the sole entities that governs Windows and Macintosh, respectively. With Linux, there is not central authority.Software: Many open-source projects are designed with Unix-like systems in mind. They tend to work better on Linux, and sometimes don't work at all on Windows or Macintosh.Security/Stability: Historically, Linux has been more secure than Windows and Macintosh. For the same reason, Linux is often deployed in server environments.Speed/Quality: Linux is the result of millions of people's work worldwide. Windows is the result of a bunch of developers sitting in Redmond. The result is usually a more polished, higher-quality system. Some users may notice a significant speed improvement when using Linux, while others may not.Control: If you don't like Linux's graphical interface, get another one (there are plenty). If you don't like how Windows 8 looks, you're stuck with it. With Linux, you can chose between a variety of different software. Some common window managers include GNOME, KDE, Xfce, and LXDE. If you hate all 4, there are still even more choices! If the taskbar clock urks you, you can get rid of it. Linux users have more control over their system.Support: Many commercial organizations offer paid support for Linux systems. While this is true for Windows, this is sometimes less true for other Unix systems.


Window stuck down how to fix 99 Chevy Venture?

Hi, Most of the time a problem like this is either the wiring between the switch and the window motor or the switch. You will need to do a little troubleshooting, but it is a relatively simple circuit that controls the windows. I have a link below that will explain how the windows work and also has a drawing of the circuit. Good Luck, Greg

What would cause all the windows on a 2002 Envoy to not go down replaced the drivers side master power switch and they still don't go down The locks work but the windows just make a click sound?

Check to make sure that the windows haven't popped off the track. This would cause the windows in your 2002 Envoy to become stuck and not go down. If you replaced the driver's side master power switch and the locks work but the windows just make a clicking sound, this could help.
