M$ Free zone
Written by Raquel on August 7th, 2008Well I finally made the change and have a Micro$oft free system. Open office org beta 3 is happily working on all my systems. I have switched to Thunderbird (which wasnt as easy as it should have been thanks to the esoteric M$ formatted mailboxes that took a few hours to properly migrate).
Its a good feeling using open source software. I think that Open Office is now mature enough to be a direct replacement for the M$ Office suite.
On another note I have also got Ubuntu running happily on the Mac Book air. The Wifi was the only headache here, but once that was done its all good. I am using Beryl for a window managerand it performs well on the intergrated X3100 chipset.
