I have been a Windows user since Windows 3.1.

I had previously dabbled with Ubuntu, but only using the live CD on my main PC and tested on spare PCs.

My main PC running Win 7 died recently, but was bought back to life with a new PSU. At the same time I found a P4 PC a neighbour had discarded and put a 1TB HD in with the intention of running it as my torrent box and media server, while using my Win 7 PC as my main rig.

I installed Ubuntu on the torrent box and since then have had no reason to start up the Windows machine.

Using the N900 was another incentive for me to start embracing Linux and I am happy I made the switch. There have been no tasks I have been unable to perform with Ubuntu and love the idea and concept of 'open source' operating systems (and software).

It does take a bit of learning a new way of doing things, but it's very satisfying to do.

Win 7 still runs on my laptop, and I still love the OS, but now I know I don't have to rely on it anymore.
