"The story so far: In a quest to end my dependence on Microsoft,
I embarked on a 14-day experiment. I tossed all my Microsoft
programs and made Linux my primary operating system."
"But the experiment hasn't been totally painless. My new desktop

software before it would work. The Linux programs lacked features
crucial to my work. And making the system do what I wanted was very
frustrating."
"But there have been bright spots. One of these is a package
called StarOffice."
