Excellent post. It does take some time to get used to the way of thinking in Linux. And you have those windows apps you have used for years and really like. I had 5 or 6 that I found hard to give up, and couldnt immediately find a suitable free replacement, so I was slow to fully embrace linux.
Eventually you find replacements for those apps, not substitutes but replacements that are free in every sense of the word.
Then you find it hard to go back to your old favourite apps:*)

It's well within their right to choose who gets to use their free service no one actually disputed that in any comments above so why post it?
firebird, an optional java runtime, semi-optional flash plugin and mplayer plugin, what else do you need?
openoffice bloated? not quite, there's no animated paperclip to start with if they fix the load time, the suite rocks. as it is now, its great.
