Well you know, nothing in the Windwoes world is "locked down", because
Micro$oft will gladly sell you the "key".
Here's Vista "ultimate" for only $320!

"Ultimate," eh? :-) So does that remove the DRM and the blubber?
More importantly, does it run on a netbook? Any of them? Somebody?
Remember all Linux netbooks come with Open office, *installed*.
So? Office "professional" for only $500!

It doesn't do ODF. It's for users of Microsoft Office to communicate among

But every Wintard on _earth_ wants a copy of M$-Offal Pro-feshunil to
look at Clippy while they tipe wurds and git it sperl-chucked.
(That's not so far off of some of the crap my boss sends me to proofread
after he runs it through the MS-Offal© Spell© Checker©.)

a text message from my friend Andy who wants me to wipe his dual core
vista laptop and put on...

suse 11.
He's not even seen it in action yet (closest he's ever been to a suse
box afaik is my 9.2 mac just before it got reimaged to 10.3, and kde is
WAY different in 11.1 to either of them). Is he in for a surprise!
