If the hard drive in the PC is the original one, and it's still functional, you can likely do a system restore from the system partition on the hard drive. PM me if you want more info/details. You would have Vista again, but it would be free.

I can also hook you up with an Ubuntu or Mint install disk.

If all you do is basic web stuff, email, some simple docs/spreadsheets, then Linux is a great platform. If you need special apps to work, then you might need to run Windows.
