Now we aren't comparing Apples to Oranges (literally). A new HP laptop
that is decent is $600 at Best Buy. The same performance out of a Mac
laptop is $1,400.

Hi,
My two daughters both have laptops. They both play Sims2 with all the
expansion packs. Will that run on Ubuntu? What about Roller Coaster
Tycoon? What about iTunes for their iPods?
Trust me, I would _love_ to be done with Microsoft and Windows... but
there is no way to do it at this point (at least that I can see).

Ubuntu Linux is great for a family computer. The install is easier

window, you won't have the headaches of endless virus and spyware
removal issues. it is just as easy to learn as M$ windoze and you will
find that in the end you are ahead of the game.
Anyone who fears linux for the novice user hasn't experienced
ubuntu/kubuntu.
I have encouraged quite a few budding computer users to make the switch
to ubuntu and they have abandoned windoze and aren't looking back.
Soon more people will be wondering why we have to pay tax to M$ on
every
computer we buy.

Jeff,
A "family" computer should still be Windows. Too many programs your
family will want to run will require Windows. It's not worth the
headaches of a Linux box for "family" use.

Hi Butch,
I'm getting close to a decision on a new computer for my family.
What Linux
desk-top would be best at this point?

Why is everyone so down on Vista? I have been using it for a long
time, starting with the Beta Version-now using the Ultimate Version,
without problems [laptops and PC's]. I think it is more a learning
curve with so many changes rom the earlier versions.
Vista is here to stay and you should be learning t-not going
backwards.
I agree with the "learning and not going backwards"....Install
Linux and get
started with the learning curve.
