What are the system req for Ultimate Edition? It has any programs for watching p2p television?
And as a sugestion, the next version should have Sopcast.
Yes all issues, you have asked are available for *nix, I would suggest nothing less then 256 MB ram and a decent vid card if you plan on using compiz fusion. There is a an app included with Ultimate Edition 1.7 called Miro Internet Tv pre installed for your convenience.
Text editiors many, Amarok is untouchable where music is concerned, makes windows look like a big joke. 3 torrent clients, 3 clients to watch movies with all of which pre-installed. Any further questions don't be afraid to ask, will probably a day or 2 before it hits the download server, ccal & torrent will be the only place to get it until it is re-uploaded.
The biggest issue with a user that switches from windows to *nix is what program do I use to do this or that, for example I use Yahoo Instant messenger, what do I use now? The answer beyond the many available to *nix is Pidgin is supports MSN, Yahoo, Myspace, AOL IM, ICQ, and many more 15 different messengers all in one app simply amazing, goodbye bloat and resource waste, welcome aboard *nix (be it mine or another).
I thought I might also point out the not so obvious, what most people are unaware of where *nix is concerned. In the Windows world the more you install the slower it gets and is called bloat or bloatware. In *nix it is called a feature, I have greater then 250,000 files on what a windows user would call their C: drive, this has no effect on a *nix system (minus a service which may be added by a program), another key point I would also like to take the time and point out in windows your drive becomes fragmented, this does not exist in Ultimate Edition or any other *nix system. Virus's a thing of the past, hmm why is Clam AV included in Ultimate Edition 1.7? To fix your windows drive
Ultimate Edition can see a Windows drive (read / write), Windows would just assume kill grub and be the only system on your computer (no *nix filesystems are viewable in Windows w/o the use of third party software).
