Default Re: Windows 7 anyone?

FYI...I never switched to vista. I thought it was very hokey and unstable at the time. I just didn't think it was made for an IT driven environment like XP was.

Ubuntu is a great start for non-Windows users.
So is Mac OSX Tiger....but there is a nice price tag that comes with that.

Agreed. It seems pretty clear to me that Vista was a stab at grabbing some of the OSX hype/money.

Ubuntu is great if you can get the drivers you need. The whole driver/wrapper thing is over some people's heads though.
