Does Vista sucks with everyone or just with me ?
pedalpete: Of course you can install Ubuntu, but it sounds very strange that your laptop is THAT poor at running Vista.I ran Vista for about 8 months before upgrading to Windows 7, and though Vista definately did some ridiculously stupid things, I never had issues with 'performance' (I'm running 64 bit version for mysql).You didn't say who the laptop vendor was. How long have you had the laptop. If it is that poor, I'd return it and get another one.I've been running Windows 7 for a few weeks now, and it has been a really good experience. A few bugs (window flickering, and strangely HDMI doesn't support sound), but I have no problem recommending it. And for the time being it is free.
