Thanks i will defiantly try , BTW , Is the latest MAC OS is available for x86?As i have no idea about it , that’s why i am asking it. I just tried Mac os X on G3 & G4 long back.

Yes, it is true , Linux and its flavors are still "techie 's stuff. common user still away from it. Though Almost all distros like FC , Suse , debian has impressive GUI. they still lacks on Usability front. It is a usability factor which is keeping GUI. they still lacks on Usability front. It is a usability factor which is keeping common people away from Linux. As far as tech superiority is concerned Tux is well ahead of Wintel but as far as usability is concerned it is behind.
AND MOST IMPORTANAT POINT TO NOTE , the real power of windows 7 lies in its usability , otherwise (at this stage) i don’t think it is much more different than Vista.
Use Ubuntu!!!
It makes your life feel better! No worries.. No complaints!!
Besides.. Ubuntu is a beauty!!
And I don't think general comments on Windows 7 is not very encouraging!!
>> Ubuntu can out class Windows if the user is good at knowing his/her preferences and is ready to get his PC work for him, the way he wants. For all others, Windows is still here. ;) :)
That pretty much sums it up. A lay man will still find it difficult to work with Ubuntu and is probably better off with Windows. A geek or a tech savvy user has more power in Ubuntu (Or any other flavor of Linux) than he/she has in Windows.
Don't just write off Windows 7. It is much better than Vista and is very user friendly. It is what VIsta should have been. It cannot obviously give Ubuntu a run for its money because Ubuntu is free. But otherwise, Windows 7 is a decent OS.
I have downloaded Windows 7 and am currently playing with it too. Posted a first impressions article on my blog at http://www.indiblogger.in/blogger.php?blogger=2109
Check it out and don't forget to leave a comment.
Regarding Ubuntu - I've been using Ubuntu for a while now... I feel there is not much of improvement from Fiesty Fawn onwards - in terms of UI or usability. The Intrepid Ibex looks pretty much identical to Fiesty Fawn.
I am not a great fan of Windows but Windows 7 is surely a step in the right direction after the Vista misadventure.
@Sriharsha
Yes many sites, might be I will try myself in next week.. so be in touch.
1. Anyway ZDNet is right and authentic place. So you may visit http://blogs.zdnet.com/open-source/?p=3287
2. Martin notes is equally good source , which I read thoroughly
http://martinnotes.com/2009/01/11/windows-7-vs-ubuntu/
Right now ,I am evaluating the performance of of Vista and Windows 7.
@Ves21
Is Mac OS X is still available for X86 platform? Can I run it in Vmplayer? Please update me.
@ Prabhajot
I hope one day you will get it. As I enjoy 2 M bps link , I managed it. Meanwhile you can obtain product key. At this stage , better obtain product key first for Win 7 by just registering for download, instead of actually proceeding for download.
"A 3.15 GB download took more than 10 hours to download."
sUCH a small file.If ever downloaded it, it will be an achievement for me in itself. LOL!
So congrats!
