Alright, i've had it with vista, it runs way too slow.
I'm not planning on buying XP, but still want a legal OS.

So the obvious solution would be linux, but now the question, will it improve my pc's performance and which one should i take.

I'm a music producer (dual booting is possible, i'll use vista for my music if needed), have a 250 GB harddisk (150 free) and want a stable OS for normal use, i'm not a professional.

Also, can i chat with people on AIM and WLM in Linux?

whether they're faster or not obviously depends on your hardwaare

For Ubuntu, you can try their live CD before you actually install it.
I prefer Sabayon, even I'm still learning on it, at least you get those special 3D effects right on the live disc. Smile

To answer your last question
Yes you can chat with people from MSN and AIM
It has a messenger called Pidgeon messenger or something
It allows you to chat with people from aim/msn/gtalk/etc/etc

Ubuntu is really good. For me it has always been extremely fast, and you can chat with people on AIM and MSN in Ubuntu. In fact the Pigdin Instant Messenger handles all of them, so you have all your contacts in the same window. But just a suggestion, I totally hate Macs, but that stops when it comes to music and art. So why the hell are you using Vista for music?! Go buy a Mac and download Pro tools.

You can easily tweak Vista to run on low-end graphics, and by the time you disable any unnecessary services it's faster than XP, at least on my hardware.

Anyway, why a legal OS? There's no benefit if you have a good XP corporate key.

So if cops come banging on your door (most likely not though) you can say, "I got a legal version *shoves CD in their face*! Now GTFO!". Wink

Outside of having the worlds worst graphic card, having Aero enabled is usually a good idea, since all the window management is done on the GPU instead of the CPU.
