1. I wish I could do that.
I just like using Office 2007, Photoshop, et al, without emulated garbage hogging CPU space despite owning a quad core processor and all...

And I've been there before; alternative operating systems. Was a SuSE fanatic for years.

6. Well...I can fix one of those problems.
OpenOffice is the leading open-source office software suite for word processing, spreadsheets, presentations, graphics, databases and more. It is available in many languages and works on all common computers. It stores all your data in an international open standard format and can also read and write files from other common office software packages. It can be downloaded and used completely free of charge for any purpose.

Anything MS Office 2007 can do, OpenOffice 2.4 can do better. Of that I can assure you.

4. Is latency like latex?
I trust Trend Latex anti-virus for my safe computing. Linux folk are still barebacking by comparison.
