yep.
my "pirate" XP is shutdown most of the time.
Ubuntu is running well yeah :-) (newbee inside)
today, the choice is more clear :
- you pay for Vista and solid hardware, accepting a weird OS, expensive
applications and DRM somewhere (everywhere?)
- you pay for a Macintosh and a good OS plus a nice interface.
- go for linux (maybe the easiest is Ubuntu ?). I tried some different
distro in the past, none were sufficient easy for me at home. Ubuntu
seems to change things for non-geeks.
