Yeah, the new system is supposedly A LOT more user friendly. I've read online that if people were thinking of switching from Windows, now's the time. It looks like a Mac almost in terms of appearance. The only problem I found with it somewhat was that some software isn't Linux compatible. I'm still thinking about it. My friend at work said he could do it to where when it boots up, I could choose whether I want to run Linux or Windows (which I think is pretty sweet!). Seriously giving it consideration.
