Summary: XP style interface but slower
Comment: I'm a geek. I know my computers. I took Ubuntu and loaded it in a different disk drive used as master. I had XP loaded in a similar drive used as master. I switched the drives to go from one operating system to another for the simple reason that I wanted to benchmark each operating system. Although Ubuntu is free and is decently supported by the ubuntu site and lynux drivers, it was slower than XP. Specifically when I used java based applets.
If you're not a power user (like me) and don't want to pay gobs to Billy Gates, then get Ubuntu. Their support site is awesome and very good people are dedicated in the project, however, you still have to know more about computers than you would with XP.
Vista is hosed, take it from me, put up with the speed reduction than be thrown back to the dark ages with Vista. There is less support for Vista than Ubuntu. Go figure.

The latest version of Ubuntu includes the following new features:
Windows migration tool: The new migration tool recognizes Internet Explorer bookmarks, Firefox favorites, desktop wallpaper, AOL IM and Yahoo IM contacts, and imports them all into Ubuntu during installation. This offers easier and faster migration for new users of Ubuntu and individuals wanting to run a dual-boot system.
Simpler multimedia: A new guided wizard for automatically installing multimedia codecs not shipped with Ubuntu gives users a safe and easy way to view music and videos.
Plug and play network sharing with Avahi: This new feature allows users to automatically discover and join a wireless network to share music, find printers and more.
Best of the open source world: Ubuntu 7.04 supports the Linux 2.6.20 kernel, the recent GNOME 2.18 desktop environment, and thousands of additional applications.
