I've tried Linux mroe than once - and I can't see myself moving to it. Main problem is the alternate file system. I just wanna be able to type in WinKey+R c: Enter. Last time I installed Ubuntu 8.10 it wouldn't let me get on the Internet with either DHCP or static addresses, wouldn't let me mount my other partitions that had all my stuff on it, and wouldn't play any media files on my usb drive. Just great. I've since wiped that partition and put Win7 on it - much better use of 50gb.
ReactOS is interesting enough though, and I've tried OSX86 unsuccessfully before.

I've never used Linux until two days ago when I installed Ubuntu using a program called Wubi (Windows Ubuntu Installer). It installs from within Windows, and then if you want you can uninstall it from Add/Remove Programs. It doesn't mess with partitions or anything like that, and allows you to access files on the rest of your hard drive as well.
I'm not sure if I was just lucky or if this is the norm, but Ubuntu didn't have any problem detecting and using my wireless card right from the get-go. So far my Ubuntu experience has been great, so I'd recommend using Wubu to install it if you want to give Ubuntu another go.
