Ubuntu is free and comes with access to thousands of free programs. A
new version, Jaunty Jackalope, will be out on the 23rd of this month.
Get it at http://www.ubuntu.com/ Enjoy! Unlike Micro$lut, Ubuntu can be
examined by millions of programmers to make sure it's clean. With
Windows, only Micro$lut knows what they're selling you.

I hate to disagree with some of what you say but I do not think that MS
really knows what they are selling you. Look at all of the service packs
and bug releases every week. They sold you those and did not know they
were there so how can the know what they are selling you.


Here are only some of the very useful things that you can do with
Ubuntu:

Email
Surf the web
Burn CDs.
Rip CDs.
Listen to music.
Watch vidoes/DVDs.
Scan and print.
Spreadsheets.
Presentations
Newsgroups.
HTML editing.
Games like Chess, Tetris, all kinds of solitaire, etc. Make videos.
Download photos from a camera and organize them. Translations. Use a
dictionary
Learn how to touch type with a touch typing program. Edit images. Send
and receive a fax.
Take screenshots.
Create .PDF files.
Create and use a data base.
Instant messaging with over 10 different programs in one including
Windows Live Messenger.
IRC.
Bluetooth.
Torrent

and much more!

What you can't do with Ubuntu:

Worry about:
WPA and WGA raising their ugly heads, DRM, Viruses, Root kits, Spyware,
and
Malware.

To be fair you cannot run adobe CS4 or MS Access, the best desktop
database or visual studio or sql server. That is the best of Adobe and MS
but if you could it would cost $$$$ and you would have to put up with
product activation and all that crap.
