Re: OS
It's hard to form an opinion about something after only twenty minutes or less. I bet if you put a seasoned driver of automatic cars into a car with a manual, and told them to drive across town, they'd probably have an unfairly negative opinion of manual transmissions after only twenty minutes due to stalling at every red light and gear shift on hills.
After a day or two of driving gets them over the initial learning curve, their opinion will be much more realistic.
Try out Windows 7 (whether it's a friend's computer or one of the computers at Best Buy or similar stores). Download Ububtu (it's free). Try out Mac OS X (at Best Buy or the Apple Store. The Apple Store will let you use the computers there as long as you want). Use all three long enough to get over the intial learning curve, and then you'll have an accurate opinion of what works best for you (it might be more than one OS).
Gigabytes are cheap, so dual (triple?) booting is really easy nowadays. Computers are even getting fast enough to run one operating system in a virtual machine inside another operating system without any noticeable lag. I personally dual boot Windows 7 and Mac OS X, use them both daily, and wouldn't give up either.
