Electing Ubuntu Linux

| Billdom makes its citizens far too reliant on the prevailing regime, and

| Microsoft changes its formats and retires its software.

| We began the installation process at 4.59pm on a Friday, after spending an
| hour making sure all our backups were intact. By 5.24pm, newly partitioned
| and with its new operating system, it had become a much more powerful PC than
| it had been under Windows XP, and a good deal more stable and powerful that
| it would have been running Vista.

Hasta la Vista, baby

| It seems as if the Dutch are tired of Microsoft's finest breaking all the

| Apparently the Consumentenbond (Office of Fair Trading) is vastly unimpressed
| by the fact that it's difficult to buy a new computer without Windows Vista,
| and that the very same operating system causes such a high number of
| problems, which the average user is not equipped to deal with.
|
| If the Consumentenbond finds that too many people are having problems with
| Windows Vista, it may elect to start legal proceedings against Microsoft.
