I want to play chess using FF, GM and all the nice extra bits; talk on Skype; e-mail (hotmail); watch downloaded flicks; order books & CDs on Amazon; write documents and lesson plans: which OS should I have?

and stick it on a separate partition.
Which is best etc is down to personal preferences I reckon.
