Hahahah. i have a problem. Now I have Ubuntu/Linux, and I can't post it up. hahahhaa. OpenSolaris won't let the downloads open, which is not making me happy. So Let's try Ubuntu (I need a UNIX based system to run atmopheric simulations, stupid people have to make it that way)

Should have split the first option into three IMO.

Anyways, I'm using Windows 7 here.

Windows Vista, used to use an Apple OS (not sure which one) at college and I am well acquainted with the wheel of death.

Windows 7 64-bit on desktop, Windows Vista 32-bit on edu laptop.

I really like the idea of Linux, bit I'm too scared to even think of getting it.

Windows XP SP2. Yes, I'm stuck in the past, but Vista was horrible, so I just assume 7 and any other system after 7 will be too. :P

Yes, but I'm only going to move when my system becomes absolutely obsolete, where no more software released will work on it. :P

I don't know why people don't like Vista. It's absolutely sound in my opinion.
Now Win 7, I find it's window snapping annoying.

Vista and 7 take so much space on your computer. The space it takes would equal XP + 10 large games. :P Exaggerated, maybe. :P

Well, Windows 7 does have more stuff than XP, thats part of it. Still, Vista is worse than both XP and Windows 7.

I also think that the fear of Vista has become a meme, which people mostly believe because it is repeated all the time. I don't think it's that bad, but I think Windows 7 is better. My laptop isn't fast (it was probably good specs when it was new), but it has run with very few errors (nothing compared to my desktop) for about 4 or 5 years now, I think.

From what I've gathered, Linux is:
words words words words words words words words words words words words words
command line command line command line command line command line

Not even close. If you want to do normal daily stuff it's exactly the same. Which means people are spending countless pointless outrageous amounts of money on Vista and 7 and Mac.

Someone at school has Linux, but he's also very good at programming.

I'm just afraid that I'll bork Windows or lose all my stuffz if I install it. Or something. I haven't tried installing an OS before.
