Any other OS. Why?
My packet of Ubuntu Linux all the way from France arrived today. And minutes after I receieved it, I put the CD's inside the packet, to use. And very soon, I was working on the new, free OS I had just receieved.
Now, don't expect me to write another review of the same as they are many, readily available on cyber-space. Click here to have a look at one of them(reviews).
After working, using, feeling the new OS, I was pondering over, or you can say, admiring the supremacy of Windows XP. I just couldn't think of a reason, why people use or switch over to other OS's when an ultimte master-piece is in front of them. Rather than not being a free affair, is there any other fault in it? Even that is not a problem. Most of us get it approximately for nill(pirated version). So, according to me, sit down, enjoy your present product from microsoft and there's no need to look for anything else till september(Vista expected).

If you think Ubuntu is not a good OS, then of course you wont like the interface of any other Linux OS. As Ubuntu is by far the simplest of all. And it lacks features, which can otherwise be installed later via the internet. And if you love programming, Python is one helluva language!
Windows 2000 is probably the only stable OS that Microsoft has ever been able to develop.Windows XP is inflexible and unreliable and eats up system resoures for unnecessary stuff.On its quest to make a good looking OS,MS has largely compromised on performance.Try working in a fairly large app like Illustrator,3dsMax or AutoCad in XP and then in 2000 and you will know the difference.I haven't migrated from Windows yet but would love to do so with Ubuntu.Since it is different from Windows it will take som time to get used to it.
And yes,If one wants to learn programming systematically over a period of years (Unlike the Learn-Programming-In-24-Hours brigade)Python is a very good language to start with to get a strong base.
hmm...that is true with all OSes, and anyway, if you work with a core duo processor and 1gb of RAM, you wont find a faster PC.
@Abhishek: I never said that Ubuntu is not good. I said, XP is better.
@Uma: Rightly Said. And for the stability reasons only I included the final concluding note "Note: This post is meant for home, personal users. Above lines will make no sense if they are mistakenly or intentionally taken for commercial use".
Also one more thing Uma. Don't just switch over to Ubuntu completely. Have both of the OS's on your PC.
