Unless he is buying it in Europe- to satisfy the anti-MS PTB over
there, they plan to release it w/o a browser. Not sure how they
expect people to download patches or a different browser, but hey,
what the PTB want, the PTB get.

The PTB just said that MS can't include it free as part of the OS
and that it can't be an integrated part of the OS. But others can
include the browser. For instance, if Dell wants to include Firefox on
their boxes, they could. If I read the release correctly, the computer
makers can include a stand alone version of IE if they want to. It is
just that MS can't require they take the browser as part of the OS.

Download live CD image of Linux Mint, burn to CD, put in DVD drive and
restart your computer. Make sure BIOS is set to boot from DVD drive.
See what a good OS is. It won't change anything on your hard drive or
alter your Windows system. When your done take out the CD and reboot
and your back to using Windows again.

That looks like a cool version but I've had very good
luck with Puppy Linux which seems to run on anything
I tried it on, especially older computers.
