"technical problems like installing software "
Oh, thats right. You can't just click "setup.exe" can you.

So, just how long did you go without Open Office functional before your expert pal bailed you out? Once again, if we were to substitute Vista for everyplace you say Linux, and tell the same story, we would hear nothing but merciless criticism of Microsoft. But somehow you find this OK?
