what would you prefer Windows or Ubuntu/Linux of some type?
I'd definitely choose Ubuntu. No viruses, no activation b*llsh*t, no bloat, no paternalism... My fiancee is running it on her laptop and it works really great (including WIFI, audio and other stuff that sometimes tends to give headaches). I have never seen such an easy and fast installation of an OS including applications than with Ubuntu.
So, if you are not forced to use some piece of software that is Windows only
and does not work with WINE, I'd say stick to Ubuntu. BTW: WINE has become really good aswell, I was really surprised how many things you can already run with it (including games).
To be honest if Ubuntu would have more TV card drivers I would go total Ubuntu
Why? How many TV cards do you have :-?
