Thanks for the response. Get your point. I'm not really trying to convince you of anything in particular. I have so much ms software that I still use from years of purchasing ms stuff that it was a shame not to use it. Using linux with Codeweavers software really allowed me to instantiously move from Windows to Linux and not have to make a 90* learning curve. The ease of use of LXP made the transition even easier. I paid, I think, $19.95 for LXP license and $39.95 for Crossover Office on which I run about 10 windows titles of which I already purchased and which are still up to date enough to continue using. In three years of using this arrangement I have never had a virus or malware on either my linux or windows software. Not saying that this is what anyone else should do, but what has worked for me. I have also learned a great deal about linux because as you already know linux is not perfect either. I have had to learn how to use linux also. I support "for pay" linux software titles to advance linux. I know that this is controversial within the linux community but as I see it, until all codecs, movie formats and other forms of digital media are all free, how will linux be usuable right now on the desktop? In any event one thing I have learned to love about linux and the linux community is the freedom of choice. This has been mine! penguin
