So by switching to Linux , I will make all my application software based on window obsoleted , and I also need to relearn how to use Lunx , what is more I can not find any Linux based application software available; what is more , what should I do with all my files which were in the Word, / exel/ Microsoft exchange format ? So am I stupid to switch to Linux for the save of $49 ? That is why I will never switch to Linux, and just no way !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
