Regret upgrading, like everybody who went from xp to vista.
Why? I've heard a few people say that, but I've found Mountain Lion to be much better than Snow Leopard.

At work, I've had winXP, however I often need to interact with linux servers, so I recently switched to linux there.... The idea was to keep something similar to redHat. Tried CentOS first, because a mate is using it.... Found that it's a retarded linux distro (still stuck in Firefox 10).... so I switched to Fedora core 18.
Damn Gnome3 is messed up and required a lot of tweaking to make it behave... And yes, I've had to reboot the damn linux a bunch of times. By default it comes with the crappy tigerVNC, I installed RealVNC and I'm still trying to keep it behaving properly... Sometime it just gets screwed up claiming all VNC windows are taken, when none is... and a million other details which don't "just work" and require some attention.
On the other hand, it was freakishly simple to get apache to work, as well as mediawiki (with MySQL, PHP, etc), sshd...
Also, "ssh -X" just works!, unlike in windows, where I had to use Xming.
Try Linux Mint one day. I've always preferred Debian-based distros.
