I wonder how much that is) out of Move Networks. Microsoft has given them several rounds of funding... so don't expect any Linux solution.

They have a MAC version so it shouldn't be that much of a leap for them. Even if the rest of the OSs don't want it to linux based distros are making a ding in the computer world thanks to some great distros that allow most average users to use them. If we all write the people not designing their stuff right then it may make a difference. Wouldn’t it be better to write ABC and have them look at coding for linux based distros.

I have only been using it for about a day now but it seems to work well. Firefox loads just as fast as far as I can tell. I have only been using it for about a day now but it seems to work well.

This is certainly true of MS Office. Grant will have to comment on FireFox performance as I haven't tried that yet. IE 6 works great but I just use it for testing this site.

I have 7.10 Gutsy on mine and I did not even have to add any repositories on mine, though I probably should to get the most updated version. Mine was available through the add/remove program menu. Now, if only they came out with better screensavers. *sigh* lol. Great post though :) I never thought about installing the windows version of Firefox through Wine. How long does it take to load up compared to the one installed with Ubuntu? Ubuntu is great.
