If you like the ClearType fonts used by IE7 (Ubuntu uses a similar font), you can make Windows XP use ‘em everywhere (like Firefox) with a few clicks of the mouse.

I was wondering if that could be done. Ah, that’s much better ..

It does make Firefox on Windows much nicer to look at, IMHO.

Talking about Ubuntu and all versions of Linux for that matter, how do you get around the problems of imcompatiblity with Microsoft products? For instance is there a way to share and read a Microsoft word document in Ubuntu?

Cm,
Try this; http://www.openoffice.org/

“OpenOffice.org is a multiplatform and multilingual office suite and an open-source project. Compatible with all other major office suites, the product is free to download, use, and distribute.”

Thanks Richardson.

I actually was looking at that site a few minutes ago. This is a wonderful product which will save me the money that would have gone to Microsoft’s pocket.
