After the other day’s failed attempt to upgrade my Lenovo X60 Tablet to Windows 7, I finally got around to booting the machine to its Ubuntu Linux install.  Canonical released its own big update to its operating system, 9.10 codenamed Karmic Koala.  A number of reviews have been written on the release, comparing the latest release of the Linux distribution focused on a world class consumer desktop experience to Microsoft’s attempt to save face after Vista’s flop.

With the bitter resentment of spending $200 for a failed product, I braced myself for pure misery with Karmic’s $0 pricepoint.  If a $60 billion company wouldn’t support my laptop if I paid them two benjamins, what could I expected from a tiny South African startup without handing them a nickel?

Here’s the (d)N0t infographic comparison of the two upgrades on the exact same hardware.
