As a new user of Ubuntu for both mine and my wife's laptops (we're in our late 50s early 60s) I am delighted with it's speed and practicality over Windows XP and Vista. However I still have to dual-boot to Vista to run two web sites via Net Objects Fusion, Microsoft Money, and Adobe PS Elements. I'm not sure what the ultimate aim of the Linux community is but if it's to increase it's usage then it has to consider the issues of getting people to overcome "legacy" issues of using good working windows-based software relatively easily. I appreciate there are good Linux alternatives but sometimes the "cost" of transferring can be too high in terms of effort and or indeed skill levels.
Finally, I know this is sacrilege but I don't necessarily expect anything for "free". I applaud the concept of open-source but don't expect others to do things for me for nothing (their children need food and shelter just as mine did).
