i'd rather pay an ubuntu tax than a microsoft tax so i really look forward to buying a new machine with the option of ubuntu even if it costs a little more.

but my main concern will be the those who buy an ubuntu machine and then expect to run ms office or other windows only piece of software on it. i will be getting those calls. thankfully most of the home users aren't as dependent on windows only apps anymore.

Just rename their libre office to Word and Excel. I've tried it with 2 relatives and so far it's working, no complaints :)

Haha yeah I did that too, I installed Firefox and renamed it to Internet Explorer. :)
