I run Ubuntu Linux and Windows and both have problems.
Windows slows down with time as the registry bloats (and yes I use registry cleanup tools such as CCleaner) and antiviruses' take up more run time with every update. Startup takes over 4 minutes and I have a Pentium 4 @ 3Ghz with 1Gb of RAM, thats unacceptible (and i have perfect defragmentation using both defrag and defraggler and have run scandisc in DOS and Windows), certain programs (usually 3rd party like ad-aware) lock up my machine and require reboots.
Ubuntu has problems for me with my older monitor that has no plug and play monitor support, i had to search for hours trying to find the hidden monitor support menu "sudo displayconfig-gtk" in order to fix that stuff. And now with the update to Intrepid my machine locked during package cleanup and corrupted, I'm now manually updating from the CL and downloading all the necessary repositories will take most of the night. Also I'm having display driver problems, which i hope will be fixed after the full update (I have a NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200)
I like the clean operating environment that Ubuntu gives me so thats my preference. I runs so fast even with compiz.
