Six Months and Counting. . .

Since my company switched to Linux, and what a happy six months they've been! It wasn't that difficult for us, we didn't have a massive suite of legacy windows software to switch, but only because I switched years ago to alternatives like; Open Office and Gimp.

I do have one Vista box at home (the media center box) this acts as a constant reminder as to why I run Ubuntu elsewhere. Also, Nokia still haven't produced a native Linux PC suite, so software updates require windows. Although that will be less of a problem with the new Symbian phone, which can be updated O.T.A.

I've tried the public beta *cough* of Vista SP2 Wind'ohs! 7 in a virtual machine (of course) and yes it's OK, but does it play HD media right out the box? What do you think? I'm sorry Microsoft, but if you expect me to pay money for this, it has to play bluray without me having to install 3-rd party software. The same goes for anti-malware software!
