you tell that to your IT manager. 'Hey, can you take out windows and put Fedora in my computer with OpenOffice and Firefox?' They will laugh at you and probably fire you for being so out of touch with reality.

I am not concerned about the IT manager....IT IS NOT A 100% replacement for WINDOWS.... I have a second machine that has Windows XP Pro on and does those things that Windows does well, but I do very limited browsing the internet with it.....Linux and Firefox do the job for me....

The problem of spyware and viruses are so damn severe that I restrict windows from internet access.....

Actually, I laugh at them, and then I install Red Hat Enterprise Linux on their desktop instead. And I'm the IT manager.

For the last time, this software has nothing to do with Linux OO and FireFox run native on Windows. We are moving away from ie because its a nightmare for our helpdesk and L1 Support to deal with all the crap it causes.

We are starting to move our developers off of windows boxes onto *nix (as they wish it) because our big servers they are coding for happen to be *nix..
