Well, after those of you who are <non MS>clearly fanatics pushed its
cause on here I thought I'd be open minded and give it a try.
After an hours download time, I burnt Ubuntu 6.06 LTS on to a CD and
booted up
My keyboard/mouse (bluetooth Logitech DiNovo) wouldn't work at all
Internet didn't work (presumably network card drivers)
My sound didn't work.
I haven't even got enough control to try and resolve it (I have a spare
cheapo mouse that worked but not a keyboard)
So I am left asking again - is it worth it?

Depends on what hassle you get and if you can resolve any issues. For
instance Vista refuses to work with my 3Com Boomerang NIC and Turtle Beach
SantaCruz sound card. The grass ain't so green in the MS camp either.

Everyone knows Vista sucks and should be avoided at all costs. Who wants to
PAY to finish the beta testing that MS didn't....?
