My desktop OS: Ubuntu (NewsForge)

NewsForge hears from a long-time Windows user who finds Ubuntu's Breezy Badger to be a pretty good replacement. "Ubuntu's pre-installed GNOME applications were suitable for my needs. OpenOffice.org allowed me to manipulate all my Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files without any difficulty. It lacks some of the extra features of the commercial competition, but I didn't suffer at all in my early use. Switching from Quickbooks to GnuCash was more difficult. GnuCash has fewer familiar features than Quickbooks, but free software fits into my budget nicely."
