you can download trials of both win64 and vista.

win64 seems fast but incompatible.

vista is very slow.

XP, I'm staying away from Vista as long as I can.
KDE on my desktop, Gnome on my laptop, although both have both.
Ubuntu, if you have a lot of time FreeBSD.

x64 is nice and faste.

Ubuntu uses GNOME by default. I'm waiting for KDE4 myself

I always add KDE to it and then I have both. (both my computers have enough hard disk space for that) I switch back and forth from time to time. But I use KDE the most overall.

I'm still not really clear on what it's going to have.

For me: Debian Linux Etch with Gnome.

I strongly advise you stay away from Vista. It's FAT!! 512MB RAM and 15GB Hard Drive Space Recommended... Who does that? Microsoft obviously :lol: .

Usually use SuSE, but considering Ubuntu. KDE is my favourite windows manager for Linux and I'm looking forward to KDE 4. I just wish it was a bit more stable, as in my experience it's much more likely than XP to require a reboot when things go badly wrong.

Yes indeed. :wink:

Took a while to get 10.4.8 working properly with a DS3, but now there's no looking back.

I've been using Kubuntu 6.10 since it came out. Haven't looked back to windows since. Used OpenSUSE for a while before that but I've sworn off anything Novell related since that Novell-Microsoft deal. I guess I'm looking forward to KDE4, but I would like to know what it's introducing.

Same here. KUbuntu all the way! I thought about trying SuSe in the past but now with the M$ liscensing deal it just put me off. I've tried both KDE & Gnome and personally I like KDE better. Both have their +'s and -'s but KDE with its integration & apps just makes it better. BTW, I run Debian on my server. :lol:
