Default Anyone using Ubuntu?

Hi Everyone,
I was seriously considering a MacBook for ages but at the last minute pulled out and got myself a Toshiba Laptop. Mainly price was the ruling factor, I've needed a computer for so long and couldn't afford a Macbook Pro for a while so decided to bite the bullet and continue with a Windows Machine.

Vista seemed nice at first but its been about a week now and I really have to say I hate it. It seems extremely resource hungry and tends to crash alot too. Sure its glossy but in all honesty I think its a load of fluff.

I have used Ubuntu before but installed a Virtual XP to run a couple of Apps from Windows. Wine seemed too slow for the programs I was using. I would really like to take the plunge and dive back into Ubuntu, just wanted some others experiences and opinions about totally removing windows from their lives .

I love Open Source and want to free myself from hideous MS Software .
