I get a great deal of joy erasing Microsoft Vista from a person’s laptop and installing Ubuntu Linux. Vicious virus problems are permanently solved. The hard part is re-educating a person how to use a computer that isn’t mired by a soulless, egotistical corporate outlook that dumbs it down. Ubuntu is a new way of looking at how a computer should run. It’s open, shared, secure, does 99% of what you need, and gives you your freedom back. Brilliant.
