How many linux distros are ready for corporate desktop use.....none
The linux distros are more than ready and up to it, the corporate world's not ready for linux. Almost everybody have been spoonfed on M$ Word and Windows from the get-go. mention openoffice to people and more often than not the reaction will be "huh?"
Like a bunch of well-trained monkeys in suits.
Had a user with the antivirus2008 one... Combofix fixed it

Plug and Play
i gave Ubuntu a fair chance, but it turned out too much like hard work.
Don't get me wrong, it's looks good, very customisable and fast, but it is horribly let down with driver support.
I like to plug gadgets in and then they just work, but Linux is let down here.
I couldn't get these devices going:
- Bluetooth mouse
- Digital camera (no Linux support)
- Video camera
- 2 different Skype phones
So I gave up in the end and went back to windows.
That's my gripe for the day. Cheers

That is a terrifying virus!
lol! But still needed... Solution: Dual Boot. Then you can pick the OS that you're in the mood for.

Yes, initially setting up your computer could be hard work, but eventually after u custom tailored it to your liking, got all the devices up and running etc you find your self with what must be the best OS/Most stable OS/Most powerful(ok that goes for the whole UNIX family) in existence.

Unfortunately U can't expect Linux to be on par with drivers support to commercial OS's..although I might be wrong but pretty sure it has more Hardware support out of the box than windows
What are u talking about?? what "gadget" is this? Cause pretty sure if u browse around then U'll find it is supported or made to work one way or another
bluetooth mouse works..working with one as I'm typing this
digital camera...haha thats a joke right? It works lol
video camera..not sure what video camera you are talking about but it'l work
skype phones..depends I suppose from make and model
Yes, and its better that u went back as well...cause U see Linux is about finding solutions...not whining like a little girl(and so proving your incompetence)...Everything I wanted to do on Linux so far I where able to do arguably better than on windows. Only gadget I got stuck with once was a Vodacom 3g dongle (but thats because I didn't have a internet connection to get driver for it 8.10 of Ubuntu promises built in support for these)
Linux is the future mark my words and call me Nostradamus..it unfortunately just doesnt anticipate that people of a lesser inteligence will bother using it.

Error: Package Tixcet.A not found
@:~$ sudo apt-get install virus
Error: Package virus not found
I can't find those packages in my software repository...
