Maybe someday!
Just got a shipping notice from Microsoft on my Windows 7 order -- they're late as usual -- it'll get here via UPS on 10/28/2009 -- shipped on the 24th -- what happened to their promise to deliver on 10/22???

Well, my teenage daughter thinks Ubuntu is great!
I think you need a fresh mind to appreciate Linux (God knows she has a fresh mouth!)disbelief

It is all in what you want, or want to try. I like to tinker with lots of different OSs. Although Linux is by far my favorite, I do appreciate Windows 7. And, I have tried OSX too. Each has its charms and downfalls!

I am glad your granddaughter likes Ubuntu. I do too. It has evolved into quite a great distro!

Yes, Barn...I am Old! But I have 3 kids at home just the same. Emily 5, Patrick 14, and Erin 17.
My older daughter Holly is 36...and Heather would be 40 now.
