[I noticed on the Windows Or Ubuntu page, you stated that "Ubuntu is not compatible with Microsoft Office Software". I would like to inform you that Ubuntu is compatible with Microsoft Office files, and I think it would be worthwhile putting this on the webpage. Also, you Spelt Programs wrong.] It also say's on the Dell Ubuntu page, that you can _ONLY_ use FOSS software. I shall too ask for this to be changed. I sound picky, but it bugs me!
