Well Jeff, I just got one of the (n)ice Laptops and love it!  Actually the "n" 
on my machine meant it was preloaded Ubuntu 7.10 and it is my first 
experience with this great OS!  I didn't use 7.10 very long as I got my 
machine a week before 8.04 released so I updated BEFORE I had much of my own 
data on the machine.  As for "Vista", it is amazing but the ONLY people I 
have found who like that system are the people attempting to sell it!  I have 
not found one person in our city who owns it, who does not have nasty things 
to say about it.  Even our city's WiFi coffee shops language is now X rated 
at best!  Your software won't work of course, unless you run it under wine (a 
windoze emulator which says the letters stand for "Wine Is Not an 
Emulator")or simular but then you bring back your windoze problems.  Each of 
the programs you have listed have their linux counterparts which work as well 
as or better than what they replace!  Even Windoze people will dump MS Office 
for Open Office on that platform once they try it out, especially places like 
my church, as we actually need software that works every week!
