Lou,
It depends if you have Office 07. If so its definately not worth the upgrade. I have just installed Office 10 and outlook is very cumbersome and cluttered. The new features overall are disappointing. Wishing I could have stayed with 2000 but parts are not compatable with Vista. I am finding even after a full install Excel, Word etc has to install every time I use it. Something not right there.

Yes, (K)Ubuntu is really good. I intalled Kubuntu on my wife's old clunker after she upgraded to a new machine, and it works much better on it than Windows XP ever did.

For someone who just does the normal office stuff and e-mail/web browsing etc. it's great!

Unfortunately I have to use a few specialist programs which are windows only, so I can't switch over to it totally.

Cheers,

Lionel

Personally I do not like office 07 [I only have XP with a trial version of 07]. I do prefer XP with Office 2003--only use Microsoft Word and Powerpoint in Office.
