First of all, Vista will be stable for 99.9% of all users if you install it on a system that is said to be "Vista Ready" by a manufacturer. Yes, Vista does slow things down a bit. Yea, you can probably do everything in Ubuntu too. What you are really paying for in Vista is the ease-of-use and support that most people have come to depend on.

If you care about that, and can acheive the same results in Linux, you obviously will dump it.
