Vista vs Ubuntu

Growing up with windows was good. unfortunately the latest sequel, Vista was a failure. This OS sure looks good but at an expensive cost. The system itself cost RM300. Not to mention the hardware cost i have to bare. Minimum requirement for RAM is 2GB for it to run smoothly. So, i ditch the Vista to venture into new era - Open Source. This time, i choose Ubuntu.
