Take Open Source Software For a Test Drive With Click2Try

,----[ Quote ]
| It's easy for people who are skeptical of open source software to come up 
| with a dozen reasons -- some perfectly valid -- to not give it a chance. 
| Chief among them are uncertainty about which applications to try and an 
| unwillingness to alter their computers in any way. Click2Try is a great way 
| to try open source software in a virtual environment without the hassle of 
| downloads and installation.

ReactOS 0.3.9 Review and Screenshot Tour

,----[ Quote ]
| As the new version of Microsoft Windows 7 is nearing completion, many users 
| are gearing up for the big upgrade. Since it is the most popular operating 
| system, many people who use an alternative OS miss out on some good software 
| made for Windows, such as Photoshop, many new games et cetera. Even though we 
| have partial solutions like Wine, they are not perfect and remain the main 
| obstacle for wider adoption of open source operating systems.

| major performance improvements, initial sound support and the latest WINE
