Canonical Really Wants Windows 7 Users to Install Ubuntu

[silversurfer]

Canonical, the maker of Ubuntu, obviously wants to benefit from this potential en-masse migration, so in the last few weeks, the company has been publishing several articles to explain “why you should upgrade Windows 7 to Ubuntu” and to highlight the hardware and software considerations when planning to switch to Ubuntu.
 
This week, Canonical published a super-detailed tutorial for the migration from Windows 7 to Ubuntu, providing an impressive amount of information for every little step that someone who’s been using the 2009 Microsoft operating system for the last decade needs to embrace Linux.
 
“Installing an operating system is not an easy task. For most people, this is something they will never have done. The vast majority of people buy computers with the operating system already installed, so they never have to manually run through the system setup. The process can be intimidating, but we will try to make it as simple as possible,” Canonical explains.
 
The tutorial includes everything from terminology and installation types to the actual installation steps that users must follow to successfully deploy Ubuntu.
 
While this article is specifically aimed at Windows 7 users, it’s without a doubt helpful for anyone who makes the first steps into the world of Linux especially if they’re now exploring Ubuntu for the first time.
