Is it really better than Ubuntu though? I guess I don't use Microsoft office at all, so that could be a compelling reason, but Linux can be Linux with any kind of UI you want. Which for me is anything other than the touch-centric metro monstrosity with pages and pages of menus. You can make it your machine instead of microsofts auto-restarting spyware bundle of bugs

Define better :)

I don't think it's better than Ubuntu, but it's not worse. There are some aspects where Windows would be a no-brainer (gaming) and others where it is catching up with Linux (development outside Visual Studio? I'm just a hobbyist).

I never got 3 monitors to work reliably on Ubuntu or Fedora, though. Apart from that, I could probably switch back to Ubuntu and be as happy.
