After that last Microsoft stealth update that broke the Recovery Console I think I’ll be switching back to Linux in the future with perhaps a PC running Windows for just Office and games.
My next desktop WILL be Linux.
I just bought a new Toshiba laptop for the road with vista and I’m not very impressed at all. same old problems with a new look.
I’d say just games. I use OpenOffice on my Linux box and have no problems swapping docs with Window’s users.
for games you’re going to need Windows but unless you use, err need to use, Access or some other really obscure MS office functions I think you’ll find open office more than adequate..
