I'm a long-time Windows user, but for years I've been searching for an intelligent alternative. Macs are actually a great choice, but have you priced them lately? I don't have two grand to spend for another system. I had been reading all the hoopla surrounding Xandros Desktop for a number of months and decided to take the plunge. I had been burned two times previously trying to install other Linux distributions. Their tech support was non-existent. I'm essentially working in a vacuum. When something has gone wrong in the past, I've found that I was on my own.

I do not understand the title comment by Phil Hall. I do understand that he like Windows better and that Windows fits him better at this time because he wants to use Windows apps like Office and the Google toolbar. That is his perogative. What I do not understand is that a distro that contains an Office Suite, a photo editor, cd-burner software and multimedia editing apps is a lesser value then Windows. After all, MS Office cost a lot more $0.
