Avoid the gates of Hell. Use Linux ;)
For the user’s interest, try
LinuxMint – may helpful for XP/Vista users. Was too much buggy in past, but much better now. I am using it since 2 years after RHEL. I have no problem with it.
You can download the latest release 7.0 from

And, if you need additional softwares go to
http://www.linuxmint.com/software/
You can play almost all audio/video extension, Openoffice is available there.
The great thing is you can carry it through out world with out any headache of license fear.
