i might be biased towards Linux because i got a taste of a multitasking, multiuser SCO Xenix 386 in 1989 - when PCs was still dominated by Microsoft MS-DOS. but here’s an interesting article of ZDNet’s Robert Goodwin comparing his 7 PCs running on different platforms - 3 XPs, one Ubuntu 6.06, 3 Ubuntu 7.10 and one Vista. Bob is a Windows user from Day 1, and lately converted to Linux Ubuntu. his point of view should represent to most Windows users than me.
take note his Vista is running on Sony X1 2GB RAM but his Ubuntu 6.06 is running only on a PIII 500MHz (i guess with 512MB RAM because i still dual-boot Linux and XP on my Asus P3V133 Pentium 3 733MHz with 448MB RAM). i encourage everyone to try out Ubuntu. you can request for a free LiveCD which runs by booting on your CD drive without installing on your hard disk. finally, whatever platform you have, i highly recommend on investing on RAM because my P3 still runs hardware-intensive X-Plane flight simulator.
