I don't know. Maybe it's the Mac commercials. Maybe it's the fact that I primarily use Ubuntu Linux. Most likely it's a combination of both (but mostly my use of Linux). I don't want Windows Vista. In fact, I don't want Windows anything. I can't think of a reason to keep it should I ever get another computer.

Now, I'm not exactly in the market for a new computer. Sure, I'd like another laptop for Genevieve's use. And, if the right deal comes along for something else, I might bite. But, I'm certainly not actively looking for another computer.

But if I were looking for another computer, having Windows as an operating system is not a selling point (as it is often advertised). If I were to get a computer for myself, I would put Linux on it (assuming it's not a Mac). And if I do get that laptop for Genevieve, I would ask her if she wanted to stay with Windows (Vista is probably the version, especially if it's a new computer) or learn Linux from me.

I just don't like Windows anymore...I simply don't want it.
