I haven’t used it in a while. Saw no need to. Windows 7 is about perfect. I don’t have time to fool with other operating systems. Most people don’t. I upgraded three computers to Windows 7 for $149.00. Why would I want to mess with Linux?

Give the newest Ubuntu a try when you get a chance... you can even load it as a program within Windows - there it works with almost all functionality (except hibernate, IIRC). It'll cost you a dime for a CD and a few hours of your time.

Funny, that's why I switched in the first place. I didn't have time to screw around with Vista, so I switched to Linux.

I don't have time to mess around with my computer all the time, which is why I use Linux. It works reliably, does everything I need, and more. It even runs Windows inside my Linux installation if I need to run a Windows program.

Why would I want to mess with Linux?

Peace of mind and $149 more to spend on something more enjoyable. And Compiz Fusion is nice too. :)
