You shut your machine down when you are not using it???? I have 3 machine's that haven't been rebooted in over a year (linux of course). What is the point in shuting your machine down? If you are not using it contribute in a program like SETI@home (http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/) or in a torrent.
I switched from Windows to Red Hat out of curiosity and because I was tired of BSODs. It's one of the best decisions I have ever made. The next "switches" have been between linux distros, until I found the one I love.
If this is true, the word and excel standards will no longer rule the business world.
This is a nice way for users to try and love openoffice and open document standards. MS Office file formats are one of the big reasons business users don't make the switch from MS to OSS, so just imagine if everybody starts using openoffice...

That's why I didn't say the distro was Debian, I didn't want to start a troll... oops...

Maybe for Bill Gates "bigger" has something to do with Freud...
MS, please get real and accept your doom!
