Windows Vista sent me packing and I chose Linux. I had not clue one what I was doing but I was so tired of Windows and all the issues with Vista that I didn't care. Well, it was a real learning experience but I learned more about using my computer than I could ever imagine. This is my first experience with a Mac [have had it one week] but I am extremely impressed at this point. It does take some time to find your way around but once you do you'll love it
