I'm using Vista and haven't had any issues with running the things I want. Though I confess I'm exploring openSUSE 10.3 and have a copy of Ubuntu 7.1so I may set up a dual boot system. If I can get my NIC to work in SUSE I'll switch to it completely. The nice thing is I can be working in Linux and still access my documents from the Vista partition. I do find the Linux end is faster - a lot of times my Vista gets bogged down and even working in OO slows to a crawl - it will take nearly thirty seconds to do something as simple as save the document.
