I HATE vista. I want to convert my newer vista PC to XP, but MS won’t honor the transfer of the license.

I may try Linux after all. How much does Leopard cost?

I do not know about anything else but Debian, which I have installed on 4 machines so far. Some posting on here last year clued me into it...It is FREE.

Just plug in your ethernet cable and go to:

Then fasten your seatbelt.

Leopard is $129 for a single and $199 for a family pack but it won't run on the PC.

Linux, of course, is free and will.

I don’t know how much Leopard (an Apple Operating System) costs, but linux is free. You can download onto a DVD a “live” distribution of linux. (There are several “flavors”.)

Then just boot the system from your cd reader and test drive it. (It will operate more slowly when booted from the disk, but you will still get a good idea of what it is like.)

You don’t have to abandon your MS operating system first.

After some Vista glitch prevented me from listening to Rush on line (I am outside the US at the moment) I investigated LINUX and settled on Ubuntu. (PC/touchy feeley version of Linux, but I have regained operations lost in Vista and am learning linux.)

Hope you find this insprirational. Another Freeper’s suggestion started my journey.

Leopard costs $125. Tiger costs less and is the better OS for putting on a PC.
