Hi, Jamie.

In what way are your desktop software requirements tied to Windows
boxen?

What is it that your particular Windows applications do for which you
have found have no reasonable counterpart in GNU/Linux?

And why are you unwilling to change to good-enough alternatives to
Micro$oft software?

Are there any aspects to any Open Source programme that you feel you
would want to submit a bug-fix or a bug report or a recommendation for
enhancement? And if so, have you done so?


Warm regards,

David Murray
