If i want to buy, then i think i will buy the vista version and install ubuntu as my alternative operating system. Because not all of my softwares can run above Ubuntu.
But i think i will use ubuntu as my primary operating system for internet. Since it’s safer? is it true that Linux is safer? ha ha ….LoL
