I resurrected an old laptop of my mom's and installed ubuntu on it. Now I have three computers on three different operating systems (Windows XP, Mac OSX, and Ubuntu). And like you, I find it really doesn't matter. Kinda like driving my wife's Corolla, my Legacy, or our Ford pickup--I have to operate each a little differently, and they all have different capabilities, but I still manage to get where I'm going in any of them. For the most part, it's all marketing--advertisers try to make you feel you need the newest/best/most original/etc., when all you really need is something to drive down the road. What, no linux?
