"I have been using Mac OS X as my primary OS for almost a year now, but last night I switched back. What spurred it is that my Mac OS X partition crashed and it wouldn't boot back into the OS - I used rescue tools and drive scanners but it appears that the partition just disappeared. I booted into a much smaller NTFS partition and put the Vista install disk in."

Sorry the last time i tried, XP was more responsive than Ubuntu on similar hardware. GNome is very slow. If you add the slowness of OpenOffice on top of it, then it was almost unusable.
It was a thinkpad with 512 MB RAM.
Vista certainly needs more RAM but it provides better feature than default Linux install that you are talking about.
Even Gnome developers agree that there are slowness and memory consumption problems in GNOME. KDE is not much better either.
And don't ask me to try useless XFCE etc.
None of the options in Linux provide a smooth integrated experience of Vista or OSX.
I know i will be modded down now even though your equivalent contents are modded up just because you talk in favor of Linux and I against it.
