If you had a choice what would you choose? I would choose Ubuntu because its customizable and unlike Vista it doesn't have many problems when you know how to use it.

If I wanted to spend a week getting my PC to work correctly with all of my hardware, well, hell no, still not Ubuntu.

Ubuntu for me, as I don't game much anymore.
And, the games I do play are native to Linux. | |

Also another reason I didn't pick Windows Vista is because it needs 512mb of ram more than Windows XP, so if you have 3gb or more of ram then go ahead, but for the people like me who only have 512mb of ram we like to stick with Ubuntu, or Windows XP. At the moment people are starting to think maybe there service packs will fix this, but for the moment Ubuntu all the way!  | |

I don't use either, I use Debian Linux but if I had only one of those two then Ubuntu without question.

I think the question is unfair and biased towards Windows when asked in the general format that it was presented.
A much more accurate question would involve a persons level of computing experience and whether or not they use a computer for their job in regards to which os they prefer.
For the most part people will always pick drag and drop/plug and play over anything they seemingly have to battle regardless of security when it does not involve their livelihood.

Well so far it doesn't seem to have affected the results. We're 50/50 on the poll - I forgot to vote before. | |
