I would like your honest opinion about a purchase. My cable company gave me a 100 euros (US$140) coupon to spend in an electronics store.

Now I am wondering what I should do: buy an upgrade of Windows 7 Home Premium or buy a new printer and a new webcam that would be compatible with Ubuntu.

Windows 7 Pros : my existing hardware is 100% supported and I don’t have to rely on a time limited RC edition anymore

Windows 7 Cons : Windows upgrade is expensive (119 euros)

Printer + webcam Pros : new hardware that can finally work with Ubuntu without having to reboot into Windows

Printer + webcam Cons : what am I gonna do with a webcam and a printer that work perfectly? And what about software regressions in later editions of Ubuntu?

Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
