I must say that I also disagree with The Oatmeal on this; Some recent Windows 7 updates seem to refuse to install or corrupt the system randomly on certain Acer/HP laptops (one owned by my father in law, one owned by a friend at TAFE/University)
Ubuntu and Fedora are a lot faster, and personally, I find them easier to use once the regular hurdles (Graphics performance on Ubuntu and Flash on Fedora).
