Neither. It depends on your needs and goals. First tell us a little bit about what you're going to be using the operating system for.

What I will note, however, is that Vista is still very new and bugs are being ironed out at the moment. That's why you'll have to explain exactly what you intend to do and what you expect out of the operating system.

dont get suse linux enterprise desktop - get a copy of ubuntu 7 (feisty) for free its much better but i suppose it all depends on your linux experience


if you want web/office tasks then linux is fine, but if you want games or support for certain hardware you have to get vista

Uubuntu is a type of linux

there are 300 + different linux operating systems. Most of them can be downlaoded for free (legally) from the web

but i think you have to get vista. Like 99% of games do not run on linux
