That's impressive!

Aside from Vista, which I was able to avoid completely, I've seen BSODs on every Windows version starting from pre-release NT builds all the way up to 7. My most stable systems have probably been NT 3.51 (hated 4.0), Win 2000, and XP, but they all bluescreened at one point or other. My mom's 7 is doing it much too often for my liking... she may have a flaky power situation, I'm afraid.

My latest laptop is a refurbished Dell that came with Vista, the guy said I could install Linux right away if I wanted to and it wouldn't void his warranty - small local business so he could make his own rules ...
Cool!

My current laptop came with Vista preinstalled and an XP recovery option. I immediately "recovered" XP thereby ridding myself permaently of Vista.

Which Linux distro do you use? Any reason for the preference? I plan on putting Ubuntu on this laptop, but want to get myself moving forward in the Windows department first.
