Re:do we still need it? (Score 1, Insightful)

You feel less and less the need to run Windows software? You obviously don't work in a business-to-business capacity. Linux and its apps (Ooo, Gimp, etc.) are fine if you're working with technical folks. But I'd say most businesses assume you will be using MS Office for pretty much everything, and if you're not, you'd better not tell them.
