It depends on what you want to do.
I use mine to make test in my systems, to format LaTeX documents, handle
my mail, C programming, corrrect my students assignments, preparing
lessons,... you name it.  I even installed "bochs" and I can emulate
a win98 environment.

Install xp if you like viruses and expensive software.

Linux is fine finished but it takes a lot of resources.
