I actually liked Windows XP. It always worked for me, didn't have to spend much time repairing stuff. I use windows because a lot of the programs I want to use only work under windows. I think it's difficult to switch operating systems when you're used to one. If all my programs would work under Linux than I would probably learn to use that.

I tried Windows Vista Basic Home edition today. It worked OK on my computer. It looked really nice. I like the sidebar with the clock and cpu/mem meters and all other gadgets you can activate and place as you like. But after a clean windows install the next thing I do is install an anti-virus program. And that was a problem because my anti-virus software that I love (and works perfectly under XP) doesn't work with Vista (yet). So now I have Windows XP again (it only took about 3 minutes to switch back to XP because I use Norton Ghost).
