In fact, the most hard part for me is there are too many MS Office users.
And I can't write Word document under Linux.

I think you can try OpenOffice for Linux, an MS Office-compatible open-source software. You can download it from any freeware sites.

In fact, I have been opening and saving MSWord documents without any problem. I hardly ever use excel, but the website of OpenOffice.org claims that works too. You can even setp the Writer (OpenOffice.org writing component, corresponds to MSWord) to use the Word format as its default

I use Linux and I'm very glad i'm not using windows any more!

best linux for newbies is Mandrake

Thats true linux does come with open office.

Open office is kinda of like ms office but free.

Also it comes with mozilla built in.

I personally use xp, but I have a machine that runs linux and I find it to work better than xp sometimes.

Running linux is also safer on the web since the mojority of websurfers are running XP hackers attack them so with linux they are less likely to attack you.

Not saying that that isn't any holes in linux just there not attacked as often

Well, you are quite right, thatīs only problem for 90% of linux users, but emilators like wine, wineX can help you in manu thinks!!!

Linux is good, but the problem is it won't install on every computer.

And man, I hate these people who believe something that was only true 10 years ago.


Why do you think IT WONT install on evry computers, I did it on more than 20, and it work perfectly!!!

QUOTE
you know what it s kinda imposssible to swith from windows to linux thats insane im sure you wont even be able to boot up the linux system, well myabe from linux to windows thats reasonable, but i dont see anyone going to leave the newbish user friendly windows and go to the hard core linux system .


You are not quite normal!!! Linux like Mandrake are USER-FRIENDLY, try to live outside the microsoft shadow, tru to breed fresh, open source air and you will feel better. FOR NOW, YOU DOESNīT KNOW HHAT YOU ARE TALKING mad.gif

    that only the instrumental part of the song is heard. But nonetheless, I hope someo...
