The following suggestions might just inspire you to join in.

Then this post goes on to give some suggestions. Most important two: use OpenSource software, and note that you don’t need to run Linux to use OpenSource software … there is lots available for the Mac and that other system as well.

    Right now I use a Windows machine if only because XP was stable when I bought the thing.

    My machine is a WAMP machine as oppose to the purely open souce LAMP, the AMP being Apache, MySQL and PHP.

    I also run Mozilla Thunderbird, Firefox and Sunbird.

    A lot of it is because I’m sick of the games being played by Microsoft.
