Ubuntu is by far the best Linux distro now a days. With this OS there's really nor reason to be sticking with windows operating system.
However if you have a cd burner on your pc don't waste your money here download it for free (legally) and Ubuntu website and burn it to a CD it's exactly the same thing and will cost you nothing.

Ubuntu is nice, but there are some "buts".
Some systems, or parts of systems, are not immediately supported. A brand new computer sometimes will not run Ubuntu Linux.
Ubuntu is a definite better option compared to upgrading to Vista!
I think Linux Mint is superior, it is basically Ubuntu with a few "extras" which make the computer funcionally more complete right after the install. Ubuntu requires DSL or faster to get everything onto your computer.
I enjoy using Ubuntu. I recommend it to everyone who is running XP.
The preferred course would be just buying an iMac, but you may want to keep using your XP box or laptop for a while. Ubuntu will keep it going for years more.

I've been using Ubuntu 7.04 on my 64bit PC since it came out and love it. My hardware worked immediately and the OS works beautifully.
I recommend to anyone that they try Ubuntu out. Any time that I have spent learning the new system has been saved by not having to involve myself in security issues. The support (from other users in the Ubuntu forums) is better and faster than anything I've seen from corporate software. It is typically a matter of minutes until someone replies to an inquiry--simply amazing.
There is no way I would go back to the Windows and Apple world.
