You can run both for a while with dual boot, and judge for yourself. Vista costs more, probably loads the system more, Ubuntu/LINUX X Windowing is a bit different GUI, and a lot depends on what you do with the Vista now. If you just do email and browsing, not a problem, I groped through them. For word processing, spreadsheets, etc., I have not used Ubuntu for that. For programming, like JAVA, not a big difference.
