>>I didn't know about the Passport thing. I didn't want XP before, even less now! But Microsoft's lately attitude of "We are in control here, you mere customers will do as we decide" has pushed me into Linux. No regrets so far! :) (It's been 2 months now)

Agreed! If I had a bigger CPU (all I've got is a P2 - 266Mhz), I would probably give VMWare a try, too. Well, I did, but it's a little slow! :) Or maybe it was just my patience running low at the time! :)

But I've been able to run WinWord 6 with the help of WINE! :) (both local and remotely, via SSH)
