I've used Vista once, and i loved the look, but the compatibility and bugs were absolutely AWFUL. I have 2 computers here of my own, this laptop with WinXP, which has never failed me, and then my desktop, which runs Ubuntu 7.10. Ubuntu is brilliant and i've only found one thing i want it to do which it can't, and that's run Outlook. It runs Dreamweaver, everything. Best bit of Ubuntu is that you don't need to me "linux inclined", in that it's veery simple to use, and get to know, and i've only had to use the terminal once or twice. Unlike most linux flavours, it has a package installer, so you can look through things in the "Ubuntu Repos" and jsuit install them, and as they are added to the shell, they are added to the updater, which makes everything brilliantly simple.
Best thing is, there's no need for IE on it! ^.^ <3 Firefox, and it's even better on Linux
