It has the best community support. That's why I switched. Plus it put's Vista to shame. (at least in my opinion) (no offense to any vista lovers)

Vista... lovers?

Sorry, but I take MY morning meds with a strong cup of Ubuntu, and some XP tablets if I'm feeling down.

Levels of Computer Operating Systems:

(<-- Weak ... Strong -->)
Macintosh | Windows Vista | Windows XP | Ubuntu and other distros

(<-- User-Friendly ... Geek-Intensive -->)
Macintosh | Windows Vista | Windows XP | Ubuntu and other distros | Solaris

But then again, Ubuntu distros come with alternatives to Paint Shop/Photoshop, Office Suite, and many programming systems. Probably better suited for robotics, which is mostly programming and internet management anyways. Well, for the parts that require a computer.

Re: Downgrading vista to xp

A Linux user that belittles the power of a Macintosh OS.

At any rate, why would anyone want to rebuild there system (generally speaking) just to upgrade to the latest OS. XP runs just fine for anyone that I know, and therefore Vista is just a waste of your time.

Re: Downgrading vista to xp

i think the correct term for reloading XP over Vista is Upgrading but thats just me. as for Ubuntu i used it and found it was okay but i would rather use my backtrack live CD any day.
