Geekish fiend: Here, let me install Windows and Office for you. Forget that Lainux. It does not even play mp3s, I've heard. The best things in life are for free.
A friend of mine had bought a desktop pre-loaded with Vista, but Vista drivers for his Tata FWP were not available so I introduced him to Ubuntu. We had a nice time together and I was at his place for over 6 hours, chatting, loading, gossip and demonstrating. Next morning, in less than 24 hours he called me up to say that after I left, his other tech savvy friend visited him, wiped out the linux and installed xp.
