</div>However, those that are still on XP are probably either painted into a<br>
corner or very conservative or both. Either way, the more time to<br>
prepare, the better. So if we would start something, the time is<br>
probably now.<br>

<div style="font-size:13px;font-family:arial,sans-serif"><br></div><div style="font-size:13px;font-family:arial,sans-serif">My passion for Lubuntu started at Lubuntu 11.10. I was a Windows XP/Windows 7/Ubuntu 10.04 user.</div>
<div style="font-size:13px;font-family:arial,sans-serif"><br></div><div style="font-size:13px;font-family:arial,sans-serif">Lubuntu is rock solid, stable, safe, and most important: FAST in a 5,5 years old Core2Duo T7300 laptop.</div>

<br></div><div style="font-size:13px;font-family:arial,sans-serif">Easy? Yes, if you're open minded and curious. Do not start Lubuntu thinking you're running Ubuntu with Unity (which I believe is the default OS of the quidsup guy)<br>
<br>But here lies one important thing I'd like to share with you: essence versus appearance.<br><br>For me it's much more important to run something safe and stable than eyecandy, unsafe, unstable. But that's me. <br>
<br>As a social scientist, I can say people, by nature, tend to prefer appearance at first. That's of course a huge mistake if we're thinking of long term evolution, long term relationships.</div><div style="font-size:13px;font-family:arial,sans-serif">

Besides, I would show ways to personalize and add some eyecandy stuff to Lubuntu. Of course it's not hard to find by myself, but sometimes it's tricky to add:</div><div style="font-size:13px;font-family:arial,sans-serif">
