I don't wanna roll back again

It has been more than two months since I installed and used Ubuntu as my major operation system this May. I'm so satisfied with its performance and stability; more, I don't need to concern about the virus inflection when I'm surfing on the Internet. Even, the screen display is more pretty than Windows. The best thing is, I don't need to pay a cent to anyone of using this OS or applications it embedded because they are free for charge!

I wanna to recommend an Unicode font type, Wen Quan Yi (文泉驛黑體), for the firefox's default font. It supports Linux, Windows and Mac and its free (of course). Somehow it doesn't work so well on My Window XP but perfect with Ubuntu. Here are some screen-shots (left hand is Window XP, right hand is Ubuntu):

I have tried to tune XP for the same display as Ubuntu but failed. That doesn't bother me a lot because I only use Windows XP just when I have to, like SPSS which only supports for Windows. The only one thing I don't quite happy with Ubuntu is the performance of Firefox3 is so slow. Its really a torture to Ubuntu users when browsing webpages with JAVA or JAVA scripts. It seems because the congenital flaws of JAVA on Linux platforms and there are no software solutions to overcome these defeats. I guess a hardware upgrade should help (and I will).
