I run vista and ubuntu on a dual-boot system. I quite like both, actually, though I'm still annoyed because I never did manage to figure out why my wireless doesn't seem to work in ubuntu. Aside from that, though, I really have liked ubuntu, and I don't really understand the issues everyone has with vista. It works as well for me as xp ever did.
Vista works well on laptops, but not as well on desktops.

Your Ubuntu problem.  You either don't have the drivers or the drivers are restricted.

I'm using a laptop, so I guess that would explain the vista.

As for the Ubuntu, I have actually been trying to figure out why it wasn't working for about the last six hours. I tried a whole bunch of driver fixes, because it seemed the most likely cause of the problem. Nothing worked. Then I rebooted my system and suddenly my wireless is working with no issues whatsoever. I'm kind of annoyed, actually. I have no idea what I did to fix it. But anyway, it is now working, and I do quite like it.

Yes, it is a very efficient operating system.
