OS

Yes on the vista compairison.

No on the manipulatability. <?>

I prefer openSUSE, but in order to run any windows things on it, you have to down load WINE off of a
repository.

I find the repositorys horribly fiddle and pernicious, and they are not friendly with me. WINE doen't even
work that well. I've run a form of Linux on a couple of crap computers and a mid ranged one. I gave up attempting
to learn some bash shell horribly.

You'd be better off finding that one windows adaptation that allows you to have multiple desktops.
I'm not that experienced with it, but i have foodled around with it for a long while.

I find that skype and xfire is on the repository, thats a bonus....

I find that keeping a dual boot with linux is horrible complicated, seeing as converting a hard drive requires
3 different partitions. /:p

I currently have an overpowered computer that I built last summer <8 gigz ram, 2.6 quad core, 1 gig vid ram, Woot!>

I'm running vista, and as long as it doesn't give me problems with freelancer, i'm good.

So, windows. Although i'd rather linux win. <but thats impossible>

heehee, good luck trying to get skype to play nice with WINE.
