funny the only times i've shut my pc down in the past 6 months when windows or an apple product i have installed has made me restart. People who are saying windows isn't a stable OS either don't know what they are doing or haven't used it since ME. Is it the best no, not by a long shot. what is? I don't know. however I do want to give linux a decent shot

I've always wanted to too, but I guess I'm a slave to Microsoft. I'm afraid what it will do to my computer. Where can I get a disk like that kid was handing out?

I saw that he owned Helios from the blog. However, I doubt handing out disks to grade schoolers is going to get a lot of parents to convert. If anything they might learn a skill about an OS they otherwise would have no access to, which would be a good thing, no?

Windows Vista isn't as bad as apple fanboys claim it is, but it's by no means great. I've had multitudes of problems with it since I switched. Nothing serious, just lots of annoying little issues.

If your curious about Linux but afraid about messing up your computer, wubi is a great way to try Ubuntu risk free. Ubuntu is the most popular distro these days, fairly easy to use, and wubi installs it just like a normal windows program. Don't like it, can't get used to it, no problem. Boot into windows and uninstall.
