UBUNTU OR WHAT EVER

i had to ask this.has any one..changed a defective vista.os computer..over to
ubuntu or some other os..did it work and what happened..i keep thinking every
day..how sweet it would be.to get away from..the thieves of microsoft..i can
not afford a apple..right now..

i installed unbuntu.on one of my computers.i was too dumb..to figure out how
to work it..it just looked like things were missing and i could not see how
to install my out side software..we need to get out..from under the thieves..

just look at these post here.day in and day out..and the man just deserted
the sinking ship..talk about titananics...
