If your running Windows, try this out, can't hurt!

You basically select how much space to take up, enter a username and password, and hit install. It will download the Ubuntu ISO and make a mirror of it to boot from.

Takes like 30 mins depending on your connection speed for the whole process. And let me tell you, Ubuntu is a amazing...

If you need to uninstall it, you can remove it like any other program in Windows.

Give it a shot, if you don't like it, uninstall it. But I bet you don't use windows for a while after it Razz.

Well actually it looks kinda similar to Windows 7 to me. I don't know. I'll install it on my desktop later.

It's a lot different from Windows 7. But If you install it, let me know, I'll help you out with whatever you need.
