I switched from Windows to Ubuntu several years ago and I haven't had ONE problem with viruses or pop-ups or spyware. It's easy. It's solid. It always works. I trust my computer. It has easy-to-understand graphical screens like Windows. It does e-mail. I can buy things over the Internet and not worry that my credit card number will be stolen. So I'm a happy camper. It does Skype. It's great for Internet surfing. I can write letters using OpenOffice free software. But it's not for everyone: some fancy Windows games & applications won't run on it. Still, I like the overall idea of putting ME in charge of my computer. With Windows, things happen inside which I can't control.

I've been using Ubuntu since version 6.06, and I love it! Some of the more useful features include:
1) Synaptic Package Manager - A central location in which I can find and install/remove just about any software. Windows has nothing like this!
2) Automatic updates, for all installed software. Not just what came preinstalled with the operating system.
3) Hardware support - With the exception of certain ATI graphics cards (and that's ATI's fault for writing bad drivers), Ubuntu's hardware support is the best I've seen. You plug something in, it works, end of story.
4) Clean, well-designed, and infinitely customizable interface. My Ubuntu looks *exactly* how I want it to look.

My computer is fast, responsive, and does what I ask it too every time. The software is free, and virii infections, spyware, trojans, and adware are almost non-existant. Outperforms the bloat of Windows anyday.

I love Ubuntu, but I am pissed that they released 7.04 before working out the ATI driver problems- I can install 6.xx but not 7 because of my ati x1400. I dislike windows DRM so much that I will patiently wait until they fix the problem and buy it again. It was only $10.00 and it did work on my old desktop fine, but not my dell inspiron e1505 w/x1400.
