wtf microsoft?

aco is just mad cause his PC blows and can't play APB

no, i'm mad because the pc i'm building is basically my lovechild, and it'll be born into this world polluted with the single worst os i've seen since windows ME (not including mac os's)

my laptop (what i have now) is not a piece of crap thank you very much. it kicks ass. however, it is slowly beginning to show its age.

I am running Arch linux, in my point i also installed xorg, hal, and gnome. I turned the theme into a mature and very eye candy matrix theme. Not only that but arch is faster than 7. You add the desktop environment and its function. It is easy with video tutorials and arch wiki. I'd recommend taking a look at it. Also the best part is that it is a pretty small operating system and its growing really fast, even though its just a command line at the start which would be the terminal. But with arch you customize it any way.
I use it for the sole purpose on testing linux applications for my projects.

i have ubuntu 9.10 (atm) installed on my external HDD as a back-up/hobby thing. if i went linux, it would be either ubuntu 10.10 or 11.04 9w/out the shitty unity interface or gnomeShell. i'd install GNOME 3.0 instead)

I concur. I never did like Vista.. Always ran like ass for me. I do however like Windows 7... heh.

When i first built my computer I put in Vista just so i can use the 64 bit OS with my 12 GB RAM. It didn't crash on me ever. Though it was heavy, I checked process and there was a SHIT ton of wasted memory being used by god knows what. Win 7 is much lighter and faster. Games and programs open up easier and run smoother. Its customizable and user friendly. XP > Vista, Win 7 > XP/Vista.
