Congratulations Barry! I am surprised you could hold out so long! I said good bye to Windows years ago now and I actually think my health improved! Yes, really.
Hi Alan ...... One thing I have to use a Windows program for is to visit my local e-library. I have to have Adobe Digital Editions to download the e-books. Fortunately, Wine does a great job with ADE, and now I know it works with MSWord and MSPub as well I can get rid of the extreme annoyance of waiting an hour for Windows to update before I can get back into Ubuntu. Wine seems to be a lot more versatile than it used to be.
I've also been looking at the Open Documents thread. I think it was the last time we met, at a government consultation about this issue. Government grinds very slowly .... Schools are still teaching Microsoft .... BUT with kids using Android tablets things are going to have to change in that area. I suspect that Kingsoft Office will be the main contender as it is compatible with MS file formats. I'm delighted with the way in which the IT world is changing.
