Plus of course Linux will run on lower spec computers making it less 
power hungry and therefore more *environmentally* friendly.  Perhaps a 
point that should be made since Windows seem to require ever more 
powerful machines just to boot up, much less do anything useful.  Use 
Linux and lower the whopping electricity bill.  They seem to forget that 
the cost of owning Windows includes the cost of owning (and upgrading) 
hardware of  sufficient performance to run the latest version.

Kind regards,

Julian
