creedon, if you're implying that running an easy-to-use OS with polish somehow means you're a moron and a slave to "Big Brother," then you're way dumber than I previously thought. Furthermore, your comments insult Mac users in addition to Windows users. It's people like you who make it impossible for Linux to achieve any kind of desktop success.

Sure, it has headaches and problems i can't solve right now, but I, unlike you, cannot afford $250 for XP and another $350 for the office pack (just so i can use a f***ing spreadsheet). And I'm not about to pay $65.95 a month for the privilage of running my own computer.
You should switch to XP as I have no headaches with it. Also, XP costs 80 bucks if you don't buy the retail version. If money is short I suggest getting something like openoffice instead of MS office. But dont settle for a shoddy OS that renders fonts worse than many OS's made 8 years ago.
