I hate "Libraries" on Windows 7. You don't know where your files are. I guess they thought it was a "user friendly" thing to do but it screwed with more tech oriented people. You often have to "search" for your files. It's a bad OS and basically ALL Windows versions are kludges just to try to keep their market share. NT was a better OS but then Microsoft marketing demanded it be backward compatible and ruined it.
Jason, I don't recommend the current version of Ubuntu because you'll probably hate the Unity interface. But you can download different versions of Ubuntu. I have Ubuntu Studio 12.04 LTS installed but it is running X windows and not for everyone. It comes with a lot of media support that I use. There is also Kubuntu which people like also as an alternate. I also like Linux Mint. You can always download the different LiveCD and either try that off a CD or DVD or even on a USB memory stick which you can make persistent to keep your settings. You can't do that with Windows nor iOS. On 07/19/2013 08:46 AM, Alex Stanley wrote: > > I love Windows 7, and I plan on using it for as long as I possibly can.
