A live cd of xbuntu is 600 MB, that is the full os being able to run, yes packages are in a compressed environment, but you can't stick a full install of XP on a cd and expect it to run.
In fact I have XP instalation CD and it works fine even without running updates. That is an installation cd, can you put that disk in your computer and play on xp before you install it? My statement stands, please read it again if you didn't understand it fully, but I will help out. You cannot have a live cd of xp under 2GB, I am not talking about XP PE either, that isn't the full os. I tried ubuntu before, and it was too complicated to get anything other than steam and the other normal apps to run on it for me. I like windows because its a middle of the road OS, half user friendly, half technical if you want to edit things. I felt exactly like you, but after a week I got everything running! But what about the games ? Gamers still need Windows I stopped playing video games (I have a xbox but dont use it). If you have a extremely powerful computer then you can use WINE to open windows app. Good luck running iTunes What exactly is the purpose of that program compared to the alternatives? I really do not understand why I would want to have it.

I was using android, but recently got an iphone. I have a spare (old) mac that I never use. Only reason I have my apple products is because apple essentially makes you have them if you are a developer. You can only do so much in the emulator, but you need the iphone or ipad to do real world test. Plus the apple tv's are nice for the kids

Well iTunes is a stupid program that you are FORCED to use by apple if you have an iPhone. Any app beats iTunes. I prefer spotify because for $10 you can listen to any song online or offline!

When I develop for android I can just email the apk to people for testing. iOS devices, shit, I have to load certificates on each device and manually load the file either from xcode or have them on my wifi. Apple is aggravating when it comes to developers. Let's not forget, android one time fee to become a developer. Apple, yearly 99 fee for ios.

There is a stack overflow section for ubuntu so if you have any questions you can ask there. Adobe softwares, LoL others I can get alternatives, the most important one is drivers...nvidia nvs won't work. Took me days before I figure out how and I forgot :p

That they do, but people eat them up. Thats what makes apple go up. Then they sue other companies which stops them from advancing.
