You Definitely Need to Try Linux Again

I can tell you this much for absolute certain - if it has been five years since you last tried Linux, you definitely need to give it another try. I think you will be amazed by the difference.

Linux is undergoing constant development and improvement, and the results of that are fed through to the general distributions. As a result, most of the problems which are identified are resolved very quickly. My purchase of an HP 2133 Mini-Note netbook was a good example of that; when I bought it, there were all sorts of problems with loading Linux because of the VIA C7-M CPU and VIA Chrome graphic adapter. Now, barely six months later, any of the major Linux distributions load on it with very little or no problem at all.

Try it. You'll probably like it - and if you do, it will pay off for you many times over, very quickly.
