I have Win XP Professional , regularlly updated with autopatcher.
From protection tools i have installed : AVG antivirus, AVG antispyware and Kerio's personal firewall.
Despite protection , machine doesnt work very well. I should clean registry but i dont know which tool to use (I used to do it with RegSupreme but it messed base one time-i had backups fortunately).
Maybe to do defragmentation? First i should make some free space on HD ,coz it is said that 10 percent should be free.
The fact that annoys me with defragmantation is that it last SO LONG.

Actually I still use the MS-DOS window in Windows XP and Vista, for directory searches and stuff. It seems in Vista I can't access my own files in the My Documents folder using Windows Explorer. I can only access those files using the DOS window, weird. DOS commands I still use: dir, cd, chkdsk, type, find, more, copy, xcopy, move, del, ren. New ones: ping, ipconfig.
Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.
Every computer in the house has Ubuntu on it. My Mom's laptop, My Dad's computers in the office, (one is mostly used by my Mom), my My Dad's lended laptop which he hardly ever used has Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. I installed it, because it was failing, Linux brought it back to life. It has 10.04 LTS, because it is really old, and can't handle the latest OS. The rest of the computer have Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.
My Dad's main office computer, runs Windows as his main OS. His main computer, has two HDD's, one with Linux and one with Windows. The only problem with Linux, is that his accounting application (Simple Accounting) isn't compatible wtih Linux, and you can't import that data into any other app. I've tried. Also, the scanner doesn’t work, but strangely, the printer does. The scanner and printer is in the same machine. It's a printer, scanner, and fax combo. Everything else works.
Out of 6 computers in the house, only one that Windows exists.
