^^^^^^^^Microsoft office is a browser, email, WP and spreadsheet all in one.^^^^^^^^^^
That’s correct. But it does *not* come with the operating system. It’s bought separately.
^^^^^^^^^Or am I just too stupid to understand what good a stripped down machine with Ubuntu will do?^^^^^^^
There’s no such thing as a ‘stripped down ubuntu machine”. Doesn’t exist now and never will. Ubuntu comes with three office suites.
Unlike windows. To quote a very smart poster...
that’s like buying the body for a car in one place, and buying the engine someplace else.
If you wanted to say it like that, ubuntu comes with three engines.
Why should I bother with Ubuntu? I’m perfectly happy with the MSFT.
