Msg: Re: OT: Windows 10 free upgrade

Thanks Kari. Something better than Open Office

or Libre Office ? I'll be sure to check that out. I've

been making some use of the spreadsheet module

in the former two, which has been quite adequate,

but haven't really used the word processor much

other than for reading Word docs, or sometimes

printing them. NB had _some_ facility for that,

though this never really shone as their forte.

Jordan,

If you want to test Zorin, take the free core version (the 2nd download
from https://zorinos.com/download/).

To overcome the Office hurdle, I would suggest Linux FreeOffice (try it
free by downloading from https://www.freeoffice.com/en/, the
corresponding paid version is on this site:
https://www.softmaker.com/en/). I use Textmaker for everyday work on
Win7 instead of Word (much nimbler and very compatible, not a klunker
(sorry!) like LibreOffice), and I have it on my Linux virtual machine as
well. Textmaker has versions for Win, Mac and Linux. Very handy if you
use several operating systems.

You can use any kind of Linux, and run Windows apps under VirtualBox or
other virtual environments.
