Stability
Most of websites that you are visiting while browsing Internet are hosted on Linux and other Unix family systems. The main reason for that is its stability. Now, you can experience that stability on your desktop computer by downloading and installing Ubuntu Linux.
If you are tired of frequent hangs and crashes of your current operating system you should definitely try out Ubuntu.
Its open architecture guarantees that it is almost 100% bug free, and even if some bugs occur, they are being fixed in a matter of hours.

I had heard of Linux years ago, but it wasn't for me then. I had grown up rather literally with Windows, from pure DOS to 3.2, (yes, 3.2) then 98. I was given an old Thinkpad a30 before starting college (after coming out of the Army) and XP did not really run quite right on it. Little too slow for me, so I put Ubuntu 7.10 on, and it even ran compiz pretty smoothly. I was hooked.
I used that little laptop till the system board died. (My little brother is trying to resurrect it)
I duel boot with XP now on a nice Inspiron 1520, and the only thing I boot into XP for is to play games and to watch movies on Netflix. (grr @ Netflix)
Ubuntu is seriously one of the most stable, polished OS I have come across. And no, you do not need a degree to get it working, or to pay for support. The forums are all ya really need.

I have been using unix/linux off and on for the past 8 years. Two years ago I took the plunge and installed a distro on my desktop. After installing several different flavors I finally found Ubuntu. And Ubuntu is where I have stayed. It works, it's free, and it's support!

I have been using Linux (Redhat 6) since 1999. Debian was my distro of choice till recently. I have been using Ubuntu since 6.10 and have never looked back. I even deploy Ubuntu servers on all my clients' hardware! Last week, I got myself an Asus EeePC 701 (eeepc.asus.com) and replaced the existing Xandros distribution with Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy Heron).
Its the most user friendly desktop distribution I have encountered and I always have a few admirers and converts whenever I show off Beryl (on my Toshiba laptop) or Compiz-Fusion on this one.
Ubuntu Rocks!!!
