Re: Don't worry, the upgrade will probably fail
Linux Mint seems to work quite well. I run it at home and on a second PC at work, and it's very solid.
The rest of my family runs Apple gear.
My work runs Win7. It's OK, so long as I don't have to deal with the upkeep. Except that it has decided not to see my USB keyboard. Good thing I had a PS2 one in the drawer. Can't be arsed to figure out why the USB one doesn't work...already spent an hour on it, that's more than enough.
