Tired of Windows' user interface?....(sometimes...)
I can almost guarantee that all Windows users must agree at some point in time during the duration of using Windows as their primary Operating System, that the user interface becomes bland. So a change would be nice, but how? Will it cost much? The answer is, another operating system may very well be relief so try it out.
Easily install another Operating System right alongside Windows. Be worry-free about your user files and settings, explore and have fun.
Operating Systems
Linux
Here are some the live OS available. Made lightweight (limited amount of system files) Mountable and portable too. Meaning you could install it alongside your Windows, or completely get rid of Windows.
Ubuntu currently runs alongside my Dell Desktop and the U.I. is like heaven comparing to my Win 7. The clarity in the display is awesome and not straining on the eyes after long hours of reading and writing on-line.
Some of these offer a USB live drive also. Meaning the thumbdrive carries the whole Operating System, via cd or Thumbdrive, you could use a friend's laptop and pop-in the live drive or cd of the OS of your choice and enjoy your own environment for the borrowed time. Watch your friends dwell in awe watching the unfamiliar user interface on their own laptop/desktop.
You are going to need a program that will burn the ISO image to the thumbdrive or burn the image to a cd. Thus, making the system portable. Most of the above Linux systems listed above offer their own designated programs to do just this. On-line instructions are available after downloading your choice of OS'.
