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.

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)
