but sadly all these people who push software should be "free" as in freedom, never ever recode anything. I had a friend in college who was big into being able to change the code in his OS and he never even once looked at it. If you think Ubuntu is bad, you'll probably never even look into the code and if you do, it is incredibly complex (i've coded for NACHOS and MINIX and both were a pain in the butt to change anything and those are mini OSes that are supposed to be easy program).
So back on topic, I mainly use Windows XP Pro and i'm switching to Vista soon, since both are free and legal for me. I also use Fedora since I do some A.I. work and its easier to install some of the tools on Linux than Windows or Mac.
