I installed Ubuntu a few days ago, just to try it out. The installation was fast and easy (but so was Windows 7 installation) and Ubuntu's user interface is easy to learn. I now have a dual boot machine (Ubuntu/Windows 7) and I prefer using Windows.

Ubuntu has completely frozen twice, Firefox chashed about 5 times and DOSBox didn't run properly with the default settings (sound was stuttering in every game). Also, Ubuntu seems to be a bit slower than Windows 7. So far I haven't had any trouble with Windows 7.

What I really like about Ubuntu is the ability to install applications from the software center without having to search the internet and download installers. Also, there are lot's of free programs for Linux.
