Microsoft may control the world market for desktop operating systems; that does not make it necessarily the best available. Every iteration of Windows makes it increasingly difficult for the average person to continue using their existing hardware. My Thinkpad T30 works fine with XP (my T20 works fine with OS/2), do you think it will function well with Windows 7? Microsoft seems to think everyone has a bottomless pocket and can constantly upgrade their equipment. Don, give me a break.

Re: [libreoffice-users] [OT] Microsloth Winblows was: Re: Lotus Wordpro files
Hi Brian, I agree totally with everything you said, other than the mis-spelling in the title. Because of the things Microsoft has done over the years, I'm 95% to 98% windows free, and love using Ubuntu!!! I'm sorry if I hurt you. That was not my intent. Since there are so many Windows users yet, and some of them using LibreOffice, and since some Windows users will never ever change, I didn't want them to feel we were not hospitable to them here. I've installed Ubuntu in the last 2 years roughly on about 22 computers of friends and family. But a few people have not let me touch their computer, and become quite defensive when I even mention about Linux or Ubuntu. It is sad since there is a whole new world out there waiting for them that they will never experience!!

No sweat Don... Tell me, why Ubuntu instead of Xandros? Also, have you had any problems converting from OpenOffice to LO? I'm sorry if I hurt you. That was not my intent.
