Hi,

Whilst all this is true, and I ran XP alongside *buntu for 18mths, 
having spent some time 'playing' with the open-source alternatives, I 
then found windose to be obsolete.
However that is *my* experience and it does not follow that all will 
find a similar experience...... My brother for example still uses win7 
only for 1 program (Reason 4) which although it runs through wine, does 
not function properly!

Each user will have their own requirements, and a blanket 'It can 
replace windows' is not always true.

LONG LIVE UBUNTU

Regards

Pete
