[ubuntu-uk] Windows 7 same as Ubuntu........

[Dale Clarke]

My two lads use only one thing outside of web browser and that is games and
that's changing as they prefer Eve rather than paying through the nose for
buggy software.

I personally, am a Google fan so do everything via that with only my Story
'Writers cafe' software separately. when that appears online I will change.
I have an Acer One and just put Moblin onto it and what a little
distribution that is going to be.
