You will find that after Windows there will be a big culture shock with any 
Linux. 9.0 is a good distro and you will learn lots.

Its just that if you were going to spend hours downloading a distro I thought 
you might like to know the new release is imminent. 

Upgrading is not too difficult. It is easier if you keep your personal files 
(your /home directory) on a separate partition. That way you can upgrade by 
just wiping the old release and install the new one over the top without 
losing your personal data.
