I’ve tried Ubuntu a few times, and although it still has some rough edges, another couple of years, and assuming it can run some much needed Windows apps, I think my work will be able to do away with MS altogether. This Vista is shiny, and is cool, but the slowness and lack of new features along with this scary DRM stuff is getting to be a bit too much. Just need a viable alternative without sacrificing compatibility or having to relearn all new open source apps and it’ll be easy to get rid of Windows . .
