Vista Fail

My Vista laptop decided not sign in this morning. After several tries, I told it to reload windows. All of my unbacked up stuff is now gone. I plan to dual boot it with Ubuntu so I have an operating system that won't just sit there when I tell it to do stuff.

This laptop, from when I bought it new, has been freezing up for a half minute or so on a regular basis and sometimes it would take 5 minutes to close a window. I think it's safe to say Vista is Windows ME 2.0. Windows ME was bad enough you'd think they would have been smart enough to not make a second one, but hey, they make 14 billion a year in profit making junk like this, why should they change?
