If you are installing onto a PC, you're best off with Linux. But if you have a masochistic bent and must have Microsoft, avoid the Vista for now. I've had it on a test PC for several months now and, while there are a few things about it I like, there is definitely more about it that I don't like. Several times, in the middle of writing a document, I've had the message "Updates Completed, Restarting Computer.", and it rebooted without asking or allowing me an opportunity to save. And yet my AU settings are set for Prompt. On top of that, Microcrap insists on "updating" my computer with software that hardly qualifies as a patch or OS update. The Genuine Notifications is an example of that. Stay away from Microsoft if you can.
