However, jee is right. most software cannot run on linux.. so I think we still need time to switch .. hmm.. linux susie is not bad.. very nice interface, build-in a lot of stuff like word, power point, excel…

It's the open-source & free software movement you're talking about. um… it’s not piracy then. It’s the open-source & free software movement you’re talking about.

All of these could be done without Windows. It's just that Linux is not popular in Malaysia at all, and corporates would rather spend money on Microsoft rather than using the time to study the usability of other options. For them, time is money perhaps. Have fun with the uBuntu :) Actually for business users, the needed applications are not much.. perhaps just the OS, data management, word processor and emails.

In fact, to switch to Linux is no longer as hard as 3 or 5 years ago. Now quite a number of Linux distributions have user friendly interface like Windows too. I think the only biggest problem is that most of the software are built for Windows only. I have 5 CDs of <a target="blank" href="http://www.ubuntu.com" rel="nofollow">uBuntu</a> (they mailed in 5 CDs a pack for FREE) waiting for me to play with. I will definitely try it out one day. :) To have an anti-piracy message visible on the screen would definitely turn me to Linux. In fact, to switch to Linux is no longer as hard as 3 or 5 years ago.
