Raising this thread from the dead
I use Linux as my primairy system nowadays, because i understand Linux enough to work with it on a daily basis.
A computer at work that runs Vista decided me to take the full switch.
Issues: Yes, just as i had with Windows
Stable: Just as stable as my old Windows 2k
Work: massively improved
So i think my conclusion is simple: It just depends where you use your pile of sand for.
