I lived with it for maybe 2 weeks and loved it. But had to go back and forth to Windows XP. There are some apps that I use, especially photoshop, that I really need. Gimp does not cut it. I understand ur frustration over wifi device on Ubuntu. Intel based wifi device works fine but for others there are some tweaks to do. This kinda hard work will put off a lot of people. Installations should be few mouse clicks away and should avoid 'command line' stuff completely. I am hoping Ubuntu or any distro improves further over time. Also hope some apps from Windows are ported over. For now Windows 7 is doing great. I dual booted my system and still have it on my spare HDD. I lived with it for maybe 2 weeks and loved it.

I got books and everything. I think the only thing that really frustrated me at the time was drivers for my wireless thumb drive, and GTK. I would lose my gui interface I dont know how many times. Other than that I LOved Ubuntu. It has came such a long way I was thinking of giving it a go again. I know I got the Live CD or possible dual boot if needs be. Ive been testing Windows 7 and I am loving it. If there was ever a reason to give windows another go its windows 7. I still might give it a go in the near future tho I went full Linux ubuntu back when it was H edition (forgot the name I think Hoary or something lol) I wiped my HD completely and installed linux and forced myself to learn it.
