Re: How many of you completely switched to Linux?
I completely switch to Linux about every other week.

So I was given two options:
1. Shell out more money to buy 7 again, and hopes that it will work this time.
or
2. Switch to Ubuntu which I KNOW will work and is free.
I've heard that people have had success using their OEM license to install Windows 7 from the legal iso downloads from Digital River. You just have to make sure to download same version you had. But if you're liking Ubuntu, go for it.
