Have you tried linux as your operating sytem? I,for one tried it already and for almost three years now I am using my favorite linux distro, Ubuntu. It is based on the South African word "humanity towards others".

I never thought that it was that easy to migrate with linux especially with Ubuntu. Easy installation and super fast booting time in newer machines compared in any of the other operating systems. By opening your browser  gets you a seconds to get online. Since it is a free open source software, all you need is an internet connection to update and install all the packages that you wanted to put in your computer. You don't need to have an anti-virus to install. Ubuntu linux is very secure even in the net downloading session. It can easily detect and delete virus in the USB or any other computer peripherals. The look and feel give you so much appreciation in your desktop.
