I felt the same way and found Ubuntu. Unfortunately I had a very different experience. Our office has several specialty programs that don’t have a Linux or Mac equivalent that cuts the mustard. But here’s the funny thing. None of those specialty programs will run on Vista. It’s not an Option either and unfortunately Compatibility Mode with Windows 7 is not looking better right now. I had such high hopes for Win7 but it’s beginning to unravel as well.

If anyone had watched the television show “Hell’s Kitchen” this last Thursday the 7th of May 2009, they were using Mac computers! Gordon Ramsey is famous for high quality cooking and evidently the same standards in using personal computers too!
Hell’s Kitchen uses the Mac, Microsoft! Gordon isn’t a PC guy! http://www.hulu.com/watch/71994/hells-kitchen-2-chefs-compete

Breetai,
The answer: VMWare Fusion for Mac OS X. There’s a utility you run on your old PC. It produces a disk image that you copy to your Mac and boot. In less time than it takes to run a Vista upgrade you can move your business software to a Mac and run it there.
