Windows 8 Will Blow Your Mind. Hopefully Not Like Vista

Do they have one geared towards gaming and 'net surfing? I tried linux once and ...

I am in love with Suse, it has a very nice GUI (Graphical User Interface) Installing is extremely simple, IMHO easier to install than windows. Of course there are always more advanced things you would use a command line for but that same thing applies in windows as well anyway. What I would seriously recommend doing is if you have an old computer lying around or an extra hard drive to temporarily swap in place of the one you use now to try out a few distributions until you find one suiting your needs. There is a good article here with a few great suggestions http://windows2linux.tech-no-media.com/2009/06/what-is-best-linux-distribution-for.html I started out with a switch from windows to suse and I fell in love but suse did require a few configuration changes once installed to get the sound working. After spending a short time using it you will surely be planning a migration to linux but plan it out, back everything up that you wish to keep. Also keep in mind that although there are a number of linux games, you can't install most or all of your typical windows games on linux without use of one of the projects offered for that but I recommend then having a dual boot system with windows xp as the secondary OS to play those games anyway.

Windows 7 Versus XP: Which Belongs On Your Netbook?

actually I have a few netbooks, have one with windows 7. works fine except for limited functionality unless you want to upgrade for at least 80 bucks to change your desktop background. their claim is this is not a limit of the OS but it is to limit resource usage on the netbook yet they load their own image up? Makes so much sense. Anyway I have one with windows xp and another with Suse 10.3. So far XP works better than windows 7 by far. I prefer the one with Suse but have a few months before warranties run out on the other two so I can add linux to them as well. Adding it now would void my warranty on the actual hardware even though all I intend is a software change. Odd but one of the ways they lock you into their junk.

I never understood how MS got away with selling software that was broken. There ...

read their disclaimers and EULA's before installing most any software. Software is not like buying a brand new product at a store. It is closer to buying something that is used. The EUAL's state that the software may not function as intended, may or may not harm your files and or computer and that is your problem, if you do not like it do not click I agree. This is how they get away with it, we allow it by clicking I agree and using their junk anyway. We give them the power.
