I have been using the free operating system Ubuntu 10.04, and so far I'm loving it. The main reason I switched in the first place was because I just couldn't take anymore of Windows Vista, which is understandable. I'm very impressed with the way it is so easy to customise and install programs using this OS, and due to these reasons my desktop now has a dock and no task bar, which I'm very happy about.
Ubuntu has a nice little program called Ubuntu Software Centre, which allows you to browse for any peice of software you would like to install onto your computer, using names or keywords. When you find the program you're looking for you simply click the "Install" button, and everything else is taken care of for you. If you decide you want to uninstall a program, all you have to do is go back into the Ubuntu Software Centre, find that program and click "Remove." It couldn't be easier!
Now let's talk about one of the main factors that really impresses me about Ubuntu; it's FREE! In my opinion it is so much better than Windows Vista. In fact, it's better than any Windows operating systems before Windows 7, so why use an OS that isn't so good that you have to pay for, if you could get a much better one for free?
