Vista encourages downgrades, Linux, used computers

Submitted by acohill on Mon, 12/01/2008 - 09:59

This note from ComputerWorldUK suggests that the problems for Vista run deep. With so many applications having compatability problems with Vista, companies are sticking with older machines, buying used machines that will run XP, and are evaluating alternatives like Linux and OpenOffice. There are some really good Linux variants available; one I've played with is Ubuntu, which is impressive. The interface has borrowed the best of Windows and Macintosh features, and is easy to use and very fast--even on older computers. And OpenOffice is a respectable replacement for Office. If your word processing, spreadsheet, and presentation needs don't use a lot of special features, you may not need Microsoft Office at all.
