OK, this legal stuff from Microsoft is getting out of hand- they want everyone to convert to Windows Vista, and to help Microsoft will intentionally place bugs into the software on Xp service pack 3. (www.Fark.com on 01/31/2007) Windows Vista will only be allowed to be installed on a computer 2 times- that is, you first buy your computer and the second time when you have a hard disk crash. (See Vistas EULA if you don't believe me)
Because of this excessive, flat out garbage I'm thinking about transfering the whole computer system to "Open Source" Linux/Red Hat. My Quesiton is how hard will it be, and will I be able to find software thats Linux but similar to what Windows can do? I'll need to "Microsoft Works" and MS Word as my "core"- will I have to change Yahoos Messenger also? What all will I have to change?
Thank you- Larry The Orc
