    Disclosure: My wife's laptop, my work laptop and my primary desktop are all dual-boot Windows 7 and Ubuntu. I prefer Ubuntu for everyday most-things computing. I'm a PC Gamer, hence Windows 7, my PS3 be damned (Darn $ony to heck for removing my beloved OtherOS). Windows 7 is also pretty darned good and mature too, particularly if you know how to configure it. Personally, I prefer Server 2008 configured as a desktop OS as my Windows machine, but cost etc etc. Anywhoo, if you get a Hotmail/Windows live account, you get 25Gb free online storage for free. Just sayin'. It needs to be tweaked by M$ for easily uploading directories for those non-savvy users who haven't figured out 7Zip yet, but still, it's 25 free Gb's. My browser favourites, photos, documents are all encrypted and sent up there just in case the domicile burns to the ground. Micro$oft may be the Evil Empire, but fuck, 25Gb free that's relatively secure if you encrypt it...just sayin'...
