I was actually quite keen on Windows 7 until a critical update a couple of weeks back totally borked my system. I tried every recovery and rollback tool I could find without success. Rather than reinstall W7 again I figured I'd try Ubuntu (for about the 4th or 5th time) and I'm very pleased that I did. Last night I upgraded to the Karmic beta and everything - hardware and software - is smooth as silk. I've kept Windows XP on a VirtualBox drive for the odd time I need to use Office or Adobe products, but I can't see myself going back to Windows Anything as my primary OS. They almost had me.
