A few things for all of you... Images are actually full size... If you zoom in, you will see them in full quality. All of you commenting on design, there is a meeting tomorrow (Sat 9th 4UTC - See site) which you can discuss design in. It will be on #fullcirclemagazine on chat.freenode.net, or <a class="user" href="http://irc.fullcirclemagazine.org.">http://irc.fullcirclemagazine.org.</a>Hope this is useful to you all.
*nix doesn't use dirver letters, everything is mounted on the '/' filesystem in a directory, including harddrives, procesors, cryptographic interfaces and a random number generator. It's a much more powerful system, and allows you to mix and match between harddrives and partitions for different directories etc. easily.As for reasons to switch - better performance (on the installed version), no forced upgrade path, a community, compiz (google it), tonnes of themes, no (in the wild) viruses and a fun and educational learning experience. It's easy to shrink your Windows partition and just create a 20 GB linux partition at the end, which allows you to play around with it till your heart's content.Oh, and check out beagle and deskbar-applet for searching. Software installation's extremely easy and there's an incredible variety of packages.
I am guessing that by format, you mean remove windows? It will format your Hard drive, but it will not remove windows. Windows will remain unharmed ( It may scan your hard drive for problems after, this is just because it thinks your Hard drive has shrunk :P).When you turn your computer on, you will be given a list to choose what operating system you boot to. The default will be Ubuntu, but you can change this if you like. You can get to windows, by pressing the down arrow until Windows is highlighted, then pressing enter.Don't forget: If you have any problems, ask on ubuntuforums.org, or on IRC (#ubuntu on chat.freenode.net)

(If I'm not mistaken) I think the magazine itself is open source, so hopefully that'll take care of itself soon.

Check your pdf reader... my fonts were dead on perfect, even zoomed in for my tired old eyes.
