For those interested, 6.5++ runs better in Wine than it does in windows.
I HAD to check it out...

Well, since you are asking, I don't run Windows. I use Linux exclusively
on
my desktop at work (Novell SuSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 10.0) and at home
OpenSuSE 10.2.
I use VMWare Server in both locations to run Windows XP apps that won't
run
in the Wine environment.
I use OpenOffice.org for all of my office suite needs, and Evolution for
mail. The only issue that I've come across is that Word '07 documents
won't
open in ooO, but I'm sure that soon someone will crack open M$'s
proprietary
encoding, and bring us an import filter for that as well.
I'd say, give up on M$. Linux runs faster, lighter, and if you need it,
run
Borg software in a VM...DON'T BE ASSIMILATED!!! <- reference to STNG for
you
Trekkies out there.

For 2 days I have run my new laptop with vista on it.
I still have a possibilty to go back to XP.
I also have instaled open office. insted of MS-office From an RBASE
point of view vista is almost fine (almost I say since my national
charcters åäö ÅÄÖ dont work in RBASE dos version, never mind I dont
use dos version very much longer)
Question
Shall I revert back to XP?
Shall I stay with open office and give up MS-Office?
