Good Points

Bad Points

TV on demand services like 4OD and BBC iPlayer do not work due to DRM and software incompatibility. Lack of blockbuster games.

General Comments

Ubuntu is the top Linux distribution for a reason. No need for anti-virus software! Very stable, source code freely available, very easy to install and set up. Wobbly windows and window previews (great graphical effects). Low memory usage. Reorder taskbar. Support for Skype, real player and flash.
