I started an experiment on Friday, to see if I can function without Windows XP for a few weeks.
I’ve installed Ubuntu Linux on my laptop, and at home we use Mac OS X, and so far so good. 2 things I’ve had to do that no non-technical person would be expected to, were to install the VPN software for our office network connection (network management framework PPTP plugin) and the updated drivers for my Intel graphics card (http://www.intellinuxgraphics.org/).
I’ll post information on any good or bad experiences I have, but so far Linux (especially the Evolution email software) is a lot more responsive and enjoyable than XP and Outlook.

consider yourself lucky Mark. I haven’t used windows since I left agency.com and now I’m at penguin for six months and I have no option but to use it. It’s hell.
Ironic that they don’t use the penguin at Penguin!
