Me, I'm almost entirely removed from Microsoft now and I don't miss

The day the Rational products run on Linux, I'm probably off of
Windows
for good. An IBM i solution with Linux workstations is a really
attractive
option, in my opinion.
This thought pricked me to start shopping for a Linux laptop. I found
http://www.dell.com/open which features Ubuntu Linux preinstalled. Last
year I spent an evening at Barnes and Noble reading a book on Ubuntu
Linux and was very impressed. It's full featured. Even supports a Web
cam.
While Rational tools would be nice, I could get by with an HTML editor
with code-complete, Firefox, a 5250 emulator, Open Office, a graphics
editor, Skype, and a few other small applications. I'm really starting
to think seriously about a Linux laptop.
It wouldn't take much to wean me off Windows. My son in law just
installed a service pack for Vista and is going through a nightmare. It
started crashing several times a day. He tried uninstalling the service
pack, and now the new laptop won't even boot. It's under warranty but
he needs it for school finals.
