Yesterday I received my new decked-out Dell Precision M6300, courtesy of the wonderful and incredibly generous people at Intel. It came with Windows XP pre-installed, so the first order of business was to put Vista and Ubuntu on it.
After installation, the computer was basically unusable in Windows. Vista could not even recognize the built-in ethernet port, let alone the wireless card (let alone the bluetooth module, etc.) without having drivers installed from Dell’s DVD. This, mind you, is on a computer with a fucking Windows Vista sticker on it. The wonderful people at Microsoft also made me go to Dell’s website to get video drivers, since they claim that the NVIDIA ones don’t work for mobile cards.
Ubuntu, on the other hand, detected everything, and even went so far as to find an open wireless network and connect to it. All without me having to do a damned thing. No problems with the NVIDIA drivers, either.
Linux is ready for the desktop.
