I have decided to upgrade my operating system from Windows XP to something... better.
Any ideas? I was told that Ubuntu is pretty good.

Window 7 with an Ubuntu dual boot. This is my current set-up. Also consider upgrading your hardware if it came with XP.

What do you do with your computer? What software and such do you use? Do you play a lot of games on it?

I myself am still using XP, but I should say my friend freaking worships Ubuntu with Windows 7 or the newest beta also installed.

If you're strictly gaming (with a side of browsing thrown in) I'd say just go with Win7. It's all I have on my box and is working great.

If you've got a hankering to check out Linux, though, then by all means dual-boot.

My only advice is to keep away from Vista, I might just have been unlucky, but it was nothing for me. To much trouble and still it wont work properly
Windows 7 seems so far much better then Vista, not that I have used it very much,only on my school comp, but it is the impression it gives. I have heard good things about Linux, but I have actually never tried it, so I´m afraid I can´t help there.
Anyway, good luck with choosing the the operative system that suit you :)
