Should put it like that, The Linux version offers more experienced users an *enhanced* and *innovative* experience that incorporates great Open Source features like Pidgin for instant messaging and Mozilla Thunderbird for consolidated email accounts on the user's desktop. Complementing this is OpenOffice.org, which equips the user with numerous office applications to work efficiently. It provides a fast boot-up time– ideal for fast Internet access while waiting for public transport, or taking notes on-the-go.
