Linux kicks ass too, but nothing compatible about it...
This whole OS battle reminds me of a film set in the futur:
Windows is the big corperation trying to take over the world, mac is second in command and Linux is the little company trying to stop them xD
Anyhow, I never had any crashed when I used ubuntu (which was maybe.. 4 days)
On my old computer I used to be gett the blue sod EVERY 2 minutes!
...
But it turned out that was because I had 2 different sticks of ram in my computer

(dont laugh Dx)
Also, did you know, Vista scans your computer to see if you are ripping a dvd 5 times every second (nojoke).
It's like, the most secured OS windows have ever made.
I use XP tbh
So if you have a fake copy of Vista
I mean:
if your copy of vista is not genuine
So you have to have a genuine copy of vista! Or they could pin you down like a... pinhead? (I couldnt think of anything else =[ )
Oh well come on... who's copy of windows is ever genuine x]
