Building the Internet Barn

,----[ Quote ]
| The software I'm suggesting this week is called Open Office. If you can 
| justify the expense of purchasing a word processor or spreadsheet like 
| Microsoft Office, you will likely find that Open Office does everything you 
| need and more. Even if you need to share documents with others using 
| Microsoft Office, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.

What's Wrong With Windows Subscription

,----[ Quote ]
| Finally, a lot of people are using Windows right now simply because they have 
| it on their computer. If their usage of Windows expired at the end of some 
| sort of a subscription, then you can count on the fact that they’d be more 
| inclined to examine other operating system options rather than signing on to 
| another usage period of a desktop experience that they may not even be 
| pleased with. Also, if Windows technically expires, then what happens to all 
| of the data? Will the computer just become a useless box unless Linux or an 
| older version of Windows is installed on it, or will the installed version 
| just continue to run as is?
