Linux -vs- Microsoft

-

I tried venturing into the Linux community. Tried out Ubuntu and its ancillary operating systems. I found excellent quality for freeware and a new freedom to experiment, because open source software usually provide much more scopes for tweaks. However, I had to revert back to good old Windows since many of my law-related and other programs were not running on the linux platforms.
Undoubtedly Ubuntu 7.10 ('Gutsy Gibbon' as it is called) was very exciting and satisfied most of my computing needs, apart from coming with an array of useful free applications. But without my licensed applications which have become a part of my daily life as well as essential tools for my job, I couldn't stick to it long.
So bye linux for the time being... back home to Windows!

I complete all studies the previous night, of course, till I begin dozing off embarassingly in my chamber! The experience of my new passion is thrilling - overcoming newer and greater weight resistances and reaching new heights ...

Hi folks! Saw Jodha Akbar on Feb 23, Saturday in the '89 Cinemas' (a multiplex near my home). Liked a lot, particularly some sequences like the one where a Sufi song 'Khwaja mere Khwaja' culminates in a trance-like movement of the ascetics singing the devotional song and emperor Akbar (Hrithik Roshan) joins in the movement. It was just wow. A must-see.
