hehe, Linux doesn't have to be geeky anymore which is why I recommended Ubuntu. Seriously, it's easier to install than Windows and its feature set is pretty impressive. I would strongly recommend you try it. If you wanna get into the serious stuff then it's still there but you don't need to be an expert anymore!

Meh. How soon until the patches come out?

I've never used a Mac in my life. Though they look pretty (yes stone the girl whose only comment on Macs is 'ooh pretty') As for Linux - As much as I like Linux, the number of blasted instructions you have to remember to do anything does your head in. Linux is a tool for those who actually know how to use it well (basically geeks no offence Curson ;-)).

I'm unimpressed with the capabilities added to Vista. Sounds like its going to add complexity to the system which means more of a chance of it breaking down ever so often.

Furthermore, what kinda of name is Vista?

A Mac would be my dream... one of the PowerPC type ^_^ maybe, but it's too expensive for my poor flight attendant pockets! Nevertheless, I'm more than just happy with my Slackware powered notebook and planning on finding the way to buy another one cheap to play with more Linux on it! ;)
