Ubuntu - Humanity towards others.
It means that in another language i don't bother to remember.

I like this OS and windows vista even has the guts to stop booting.

Hi, I'm thinking about switching from Win7 to Ubuntu. Will it be faster on my Dell Inspiron M5030 laptop?

Linux has better memory management and more hardware support, so I'd say yes. But if you are coming from a Windows to Linux it's better to try Zorin OS. It's really Ubuntu with a different UI and it comes with Wine. Wine let's you run windows programs in Linux, but it's more designed for games.

tl;dr use Zorin OS if you want it to look like Windows.

Also install it to a USB, and try it out.

Pro tip: Run Additional Drivers to get graphics drivers.

I use Ubuntu for every computer I have unless I'm planning to use it for gaming. In that case, Windows.
Also, there are apparantly no functional drivers for GForce 9500 GT. D:
