While I like Microsoft I don’t support their blatant attempts to monopolize the intire industry, nor do I like the fact that they’re resulting to basic out and out theivery to stay ahead. I used IE forever until Firefox came out and I switched to them, but so many sites weren’t displaying right in firefox. Now I have the new IE and still there is the same problem. Some sites only work in Firefox and some only in IE. It’s ridiculous! Now on top of that they want to create their own programming language to replace HTML? Dear lady when does it stop?!

As it is I switch back and forth from IE to Firefox, both browsers have tabs though I love firefox’s spellcheck and plugins but that’s another story. I used to use Open Office and I liked it, but alas, it is necessary for me to have Microsoft office for school purposes otherwise I’d kiss that buh-bye. So people still use media player? I use itunes myself and I honestly don’t know what other imaging program to use other than Adobe Photoshop *pets* I love it and wouldn’t switch. I’ve wanted to try Skype but have never gotten around to it yet. =/ I’ll just continue to use Trillian for now. It is nice that you offered alternatives for people to try :)

I would love to have a Mac but my father bought my laptop for me, he doesn’t “get” that there are other operating systems out there and I currently haven’t got a job so…
Although, once I have a job, I shall be saving up for a little Mac of my own. :)

I don’t know how to put this exactly but I’ve heard that Linux distros need to be tweaked / modified in some ways to get it working the way you want.

on linux with a bit of creative poking and some easy googling.

^ I have to say that that also scares me. ;)

I’ll be bookmarking this entry for the future. :P Thank you for writing this.

Vista is something I will not be wasting money on. It seems like an unecessary additional to a functional system from monopolising Microsoft. I tend to disagree with their ethos because they send out shoddy software so they can charge you for updates and new OS versions, but I use it out of sheer convenience and price, to be honest. I would love an iMac but funds won’t allow right now.:(

Thanks for the tip about the font, will get it changed. ;)

Haha I love the $ in Micro$oft. I’m still yet to use Skype! Eveyrone says its amazing, and I’ve got a really close mate in Germany and she’s told me to get it; but I just haven’t got around to it. I’ve got Adium though, great program… Is GAIM better? I’m back on Mac:Messenger by Microsoft and it really doesn’t cut it!

I hear you on MS trying to take everything over. I know that if they tried to bar me from using third party software (Photoshop fits in this category), I would get a Mac, quickly.
