I am at the moment trying to load Ubunto on to my PC, if I could get it to work, I would happily use it. At least with Microshaft, you load it and it works. The freebies still have a long way to go, but if the big boys go down this road, surely they will find a lot of doors shut in their face. They still can't control all the software houses who write programmes for windows and without them Microshaft would be out in the cold.
