These are (hopefully) my last days in the Windows world. After coming to Vrije, I found things just right to abandon Windows for good.

Frankly if there are no dependances forced on you by a company's use of Outlook or other specific Microsoft products, there really is no reason to stick on to the Windows world, ofcourse assuming that you are familiar/comfortable with Linux.

A list of tools I (will) frequently use in the Linux world:

• Firefox or Opera - Browser
• Thunderbird - Mail reader
• GnuPG - an OpenPGP implementation
• Seahorse - GPG frontend
• aMSN Messenger - An MSN Messenger clone for Linux
• OpenOffice - Wordprocessor
• "mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/fuji" to mount my FujiFilm 4800Z from USB
