WinXP Second Edition. That a good idea. I certainly find my old XP Pro SP3 machine does everything I need to do.

Macs are definitely well made machines but expensive and I find the OSX not as easy to use as Windows, but that's just me. Besides, who knows what will happen to Apple once Steve Jobs is gone.

Linux has a ways to go on the desktop. The only distro I've had any luck with has been Linux Mint 6 code named "Felicia". Looks just like Windows and has all the software you'll ever need for free. Even still, Linux doesn't have the richness and variety of software that Windows has.

I'm looking forward to seeing how it all plays out.
