This is an easy one. Ubuntu. Period. With Vista's restrictions, I wouldnt bother ever going Window's again. Besides, we can all see where the world of applications is going, off the desktop and onto the browser. Wordprocessing, spreadsheets, image manipulation, coding (but no compiling, afaik), can all be done online. To be honest, thats good enough for me.
The only thing I would say is still a positive for Window's environment is Photoshop. It simply works the best on a Window's PC.
Ubuntu (and family, Kubuntu, Xubuntu), is giving hope to the linux community, I firmly believe, Ubuntu is "The One", it took the blue pill. Sorry for the Matrix metaphor.
As for migrating or fresh install, I would definitely go fresh install, just as long as you back up your important files.(duh) Fresh install allows you to do partitions and reformats with ease. Sometimes fresh installs are faster. Ive done upgrades that take as long as 2 hours, probably from fragmenting, and I have had fresh installs take as little as 40 minutes for Windows, and 15 for Ubuntu. (without apget universe on everything)
