ubuntu with firefox. i have never had those problems for years now. i wouldnt touch windows with YOUR computer. lolol not only that, its way faster and my old clunker will still run for years to come. with windows, it was already obsolete. this is a dell 620. my other computer is a dell 260 running mint. :) and it still does everything but play HD vids. i never turn my computer off. i never have to reboot it except to install automatic upgrades when requested. it is amazing. no viruses, no hijacks - nuthin. and there is a new version of ubuntu out that i have not upgraded to!
