I don’t use MS Office. I loathe it. I use OpenOffice.org and have for years. MS doesn’t like that, and tries to default to MS Office, but I won’t let it.
Is Linux similar to Win 7?
I will go to the library tomorrow and see what I can find, as well as check Amazon for a Dummies book before I make the change. Thanks for the info! :o]
There’s no “one” Linux. It’s an open-source kernel on which many communities have built suites of tools and user interfaces. That’s why linux.com recommended 3 for new users.
There’s something out there close enough to W7 or even WXP to satisfy anyone, but you have to have at least a little sense of adventure because it will never be as easy as buying a PC with the OS pre-loaded.
