I've used Vista for the last 2 years and built my pc to support it. Its really been flawless for me. With that said, I hear your frustrations. When Windows 7 came out I waited only a few days to reformat and install 7. But I'm happier with 7.

I've played with Ubuntu, and use SUSE at work on some of my servers. There's still a few things that I haven't figured out how to do in Linux that holds me to a MS platform. Good luck with the switch! Let's us know how you like it.
