Well I finally made the leap.
I changed operating systems for good. as of January 01 2005 I am no longer a slave to Microsoft. My home network, desktop, browser etc.... are linux or part of the gpl.
Benefits so far:
Virus - my virus attacks have now become few and far between. Some of the sites I frequent seem to be virus/hacker magnets.
Internet browser - mozilla / Firefox rocks. The incidence of attack has gone way down. (Could be that a good firewall helps as well.)
Exasperation - While my frustration level has gone up, the amount I learn has gone up as well. I am now using the html and php to redesign my web site. Naturally I am enfemme to do this because the greatest insights come from my Fem side.(Hi-Five from Aislin.)
Just a note to let you know why I was gone for so long. I am now legal using only software I can afford under the various licenses.
This little note is important to any small business people out there. There has been an increase in advertising for the warranty validation program. It basically states that turning your employer in for improper use and copying of software is correct and supported by the powers that be. One must be aware thet Microsoft has also started to crack down on independent users as well. I have heard of several instances where private citizens have been sued in an effort to get them to license the software.
Sorry about the tirade, I do not want any friends to get caught in this situation. Especially those who cannot afford it. After all I would rather get a new outfit or payment on a cruse than have to pay some stupid fine.
Enjoy your day, the rest of the world may catch up.
