I saw that he owned Helios from the blog. However, I doubt handing out disks to grade schoolers is going to get a lot of parents to convert. If anything they might learn a skill about an OS they otherwise would have no access to, which would be a good thing, no?

Windows Vista isn't as bad as apple fanboys claim it is, but it's by no means great. I've had multitudes of problems with it since I switched. Nothing serious, just lots of annoying little issues.

If your curious about Linux but afraid about messing up your computer, wubi is a great way to try Ubuntu risk free. Ubuntu is the most popular distro these days, fairly easy to use, and wubi installs it just like a normal windows program. Don't like it, can't get used to it, no problem. Boot into windows and uninstall.
