To Ubuntu or not to Ubuntu

I’m one of those weird people who have multiple computers, three at current count, each running a different OS.  Two desktops running Windows XP and Ubuntu Linux and my laptop running Apple OS X.  Lately I’ve been toying around with the idea of dropping my Windows installation for two Ubuntu computers.  I really like Ubuntu, I’ve been using it for years and haven’t had any problems with it except for my unfriendly printer that only has XP drivers…  but I digress.  Window 7 came out and while I did run the release candidate for a while there’s always those lingering issues:

  • It’s $200!
  • Windows so I know I’ll be plagued by slowdowns, spy-ware, viruses, etc
  • Did I mention it’s $200?

Who am I kidding, I’m going with Ubuntu
