However, my favorite OS is Ubuntu and it is free. The hotel where I stay has been having internet connection issues. Using Windows 7 or XP, I am rarely able to connect to the internet, so I have been connecting with Ubuntu instead. I have even been able to connect to the VPN at work using Ubuntu and operate my Windows XP workstation remotely. I have installed Ubuntu on a bootable flash drive so that I can connect to the VPN from any PC.

My advice is to upgrade to Windows 7 Professional if you must use Windows. Ubuntu is not suitable for gamers or people who require specific programs that are not available for Linux, but for many people it would serve them well. Open Office allows you to create Microsoft Office compatible word processing, spreadsheet, and presentation documents in Ubuntu and there is very little difference using Firefox or Opera to web browse in Windows or Ubuntu.
For most casual users windows 7 home premium is the way to go.
