So my Computer is in for repairs and i'm having to share the wife's. Its about to go in for repairs as well if you get my drift. Windows is a disaster.

Had to vent.

My MacBook's lasted me 4 years without any issues (that weren't a direct result of my stupidity).
Just saying

sounds to me like someone is ready for Linux.
Send me a PM when you give yourself over to Tux.
we will see about Dual Booting you initially... then you can go full Tux.

MS just released info on their new "Windows 8" (probably not going to be called that, but that's the "internal name" for now).

They are trying to make something that is very tablet PC friendly and looks like the same type of OS you find on many smart phones ~ using tiles and touch screen, etc.).

As an old time computer geek, I prefer an OS with command line interface versus click on the pretty pictures icon cr@p. But, for full compatibility with most of the rest of the world I also realize that certain things will never change for the better and MS will keep producing junk that they want us to embrace.

Even after all of these years of having MS Windows, most folks still struggle with many of the basics. I shouldn't complain too loudly - it is keeping me employed and makes me look like some sort of genius hero to 100+ people on a daily basis.

for most windows > Linux Converts I introduce them using Ubuntu.

I find it makes the transition easier. Familiarity breeds comfort and confidence.

I tried Unbuntu for a couple weeks... couldn't find any reason to keep it. The OS X interface just felt better to me.

I think you should also look at Linux Mint ... its even more newbie friendly than regular ole Ubuntu (its based on Ubuntu).

I've got a couple of our sales reps running it and they're not even remotely computer literate yet they are able to function quite well.

Any computer that can only handle one mouse button just ain't good enough for me...

Macs have been shipping with two button mice for the last few years ... and they've ALWAYS been able to use multi button mice.



Just remember, Mac OS X is Unix. That alone makes it superior to the Registry from Hell (Windows).
