I don't really need another pc, but windows 8 looks interesting but would need win pro/// Would i be better off to keep running my desktop vista 32 bit, and win 7 64 bit lap top? How about jumping to Ubuntu?
tks
bigger hard drives would be a plus

egdufwollamhsram1851 --What do you hope Win8 or Ubuntu will give you that Win7 won't?
I can't think of 1 single thing that will make me want to move to Win8. If anything, upgrade the Vista to Win 7.
I would agree on the upgrading vista to Win7. I like Win8, but you should try it out first to see if you like it. I'm not very fond of Ubuntu, but others like it. Win7 and Win8 are better than Ubuntu in my opinion, but agin others may not agree.
I'Ve always wanted to run ubuntu but haven't , i have a cousin with 8 pc's none with windows,Quote:
