Sold for ubuntu.

It's free, fast, fun, easy, and you don't have to worry about having to return it within 30 days.

Windows is a conglomerate greedy beast organism looking to infect the world with multitudes of garbage and destruction.

I haven't yet. I think there was a Windows partition on my desktop computer. gParted reported that it had an NTFS filesystem on it, anyway. I wiped it for FreeBSD..so I still haven't completely switched yet. = P~

I am using Linux in my office but I still use Windows Vista at home.

I'm currently in the process of shrinking my windows partition so I can switch. I don't use windows for anything I can't use Ubuntu for. My only problem I'm having trouble finding an answer to is GRUB:

I was using Win95, 98, Me, 2000 and finally XP for the last 13 years or so. In between I used MacOS 9, and then 10. But after trying out Ubuntu7.4 on my old desktop 233Mhz w/ 128Mb RAM I was amazed. Unfortunately in my T43p wireless wont work and I had to wait till Ubuntu8.10 release and I never looked back.

T43p has a well known "Post 2010" issue with new HDD (all HDD need an arcane firmware update) so I have to keep the old XP HDD in w/ Ubuntu8.10 on the Ultrabay. But for the last six months or so I have completely migrated to Linux and have never touched XP ever. I am so glad that I did that.

I have been toying with the idea of running Linux for years.

Since Red Hat actually.
Made the plunge with the latest version of Ubuntu, no regrets.
Could my install been a little more involved and thought out? Yes, but to not have to deal with buggy drivers or incompatibilites, I love this. Don't get me wrong, I have some things to work out, but I am a new user and for once I don't mind pouring over forums looking for answers, since I am learning.
I still have another XP machine, but I am not willing to let that one be transformed.

Not yet anyway.

Running Linux solely on my laptop, which I use mainly for school related work. It is working perfectly. OpenJDK, Eclipse, MySQL <3

On my home station I am running 8.04 and XP. I only boot up XP when a game comes out that I cannot get working in Wine - so far only one. Got World of Warcraft running better than it ever did on Windows and several hardware issues I had on XP are nowhere to be found when on Ubuntu. Overall very pleased with my setup.

I made a full commitment to dumping windows the night before the release of Vista. Had been using Ubuntu for the previous year, and debian for 3-4 years before that. I had become less and less dependent on "the windows way" for quite awhile, but I hung on, just in case. Now, I am done, happy, and don't look back.

I'll admit that it helped that WoW runs GREAT in Wine. Also, I think it was a combination of my learning curve, as well as the actual software getting a lot better.

Now that I have found Open Movie Editor, not to mention the latest version for Ubuntu, I have all my needs met. The one and ONLY thing I ever missed from windows was Adobe Premiere. I like Avidemux, but I miss the time line visual Premiere / Open Movie Editor gives.

Give your grandmother Ubuntu, a web cam, and Open Movie Editor and she will be posting all her vacations and bridge games on youtube by the end of the day.
