Simplicity
Ubuntu Linux is the most simple to use Operating System available today. Most of problems for Ubuntu first-time users come from their bad habits that come from usage of only one operating system ever.
As a matter of fact, novice computer users are found to master computer skills faster using Ubuntu Linux than any other Operating System. If you don't believe it imagine how intuitive is pressing "Start" button if you want to turn off computer?
Once you find yourself master the basic usage of the Ubuntu system (that should not take more than a day or two) you will notice that you can do your work much faster and more comfortably than before. Then you will realize that there is even far more that you are able to do with your system. You can comfortably work with the predefined default settings, or you can configure your computer to fit your requirements in a level possible never before.
If you are still undecided, you should know that you can run Ubuntu operating system straight from CD (no need for installation). Since current release you can even install and uninstall Ubuntu as a normal program in your Microsoft Windows, without the need of creating partitions, removing Windows, etc.

I'm a poor student, you know? I don't have money for the new wazoo the suits tell me I need to have. I grew tired of it and began searching for a new way of computing.
Linux was it. Ubuntu is now installed on my computer, and has been since 2007. I never looked back; the ease of use and simplicity of the desktop just cannot be beat.
Ubuntu is my choice OS. Nothing less.

I have started using Ubuntu when my XP computer got replaced by Vista one. The proprietary OS make me wonder what else is there newer than XP and better performing than Vista. The answer was simple - Ubuntu GNU/Linux. It feel just open. You can customize everything you wish the way you want it thus having one really unique computer. And all the functionality you need for day to day usage is there. You just have to try it :)
