Conversion

I am using a Windows Vista system and I am extremely dissatisfied with
it. They keep sending me updates which will NOT install and every day
or so the operating system goes down, ostensibly to try to install
these updates which it repeatedly fails to install.

Are there any problems like this with Linux systems? Linux seems to
stay up almost indefinitely. I am not an expert on operating systems.
I would like to know.

1) What would be the best way of migrating from Vista Home Edition (64
bit) to Linux. What is the best configuration and how would I go about
installing it?

2) How well do the various Open Office systems deal with the latest
versions of Microsoft files such as Word and Excel?

I am absolutely fed up with Windows and I would like some help.
