If you are the only one using it, get Ubuntu. I'd get Ubuntu if I was the only person using my shitbox.
Unfortunately, it's still called the "family computer" even though I spend 99.99% of my time on it. Mother only uses it for e-mails and that.

Wow, Jess Maree, have you requested a DNA test to see if those idiots really are your mum and sister?
Heh, I still reckon I'm adopted, but apparently me and my sister look alike. I have the same eyes as everyone in my family, so it looks like I'm related.

It's probably true. I mean, Pedobait hasn't reformatted the computer to REMOVE VISTA.
I LIKE Vista, thank you very much. You can keep your XP/whatever you use.
spaceface:
Vista is PRETTY so it appeals to F-types. My T-type husband removed it from my new computer first thing, I had no say in the matter. :P

I managed a fortnight. I got so sick of affirming everything I wanted to do, despite disabling a bunch of crap, that no matter how pretty it was, it had to go.
Jess Maree:
There is a way to stop the annoying "make sure I can do this!!1!oneone!!" pop-ups when you start a program or change a setting. The techie type person did it for the sister's laptop. I'm looking in the Control Panel to find where I change the setting.
ETA: Pedobait can has success! Go to Control Panel/User Accounts and Safety/User Accounts/Turn User Account Control On or Off then untick the box and restart to have those annoying pop-up boxes feck off for good.
You'll get some User Security alert thing bitching at you about it, but don't pay attention to it.
awrevell:
Not a bad system Jess :) I have to build a new one for school soon.
I use Vista as well, and I like it... but then the first thing I did was go into control panel and turn off every freaking warning notification the thing had. Including User Account Control which is the pain in the arse that asks "are you sure you want to do that?" every time you try to do something.
