you get openoffice with linux :
same (sometime more function, u can also safe as .doc e.g.)
less main space needed (microsoft: 700MB open: 100MB)
crashes less often
AND IT'S FREE

and here u can see games that WILL work (they are not the only that run with linux):
http://www.winehq.org/

Yup it came with the laptop, and I've had the laptop about a month...

Hmmm....i think i'll stick with Vista for now, and maybe change to Linux in a few weeks.

a good time to change is when windows need more then 10 minutes to boot

I would suggest makeing a bootable CD of linux first, try it for
size, see if you like it, if so, Go a head and use it Very Happy

ooooh, there are endless themes, updates, features,... for linux (and very less viruses i don't use a antivirus for around 1 month and surfing on every side e.g. playing flash games from every site) and got no virus
but there are less themes, updates, features for windows but much bugs, viruses, intruder, spyware, trojans and adware are there
