Your English is better than my Italian, and my parents are Italian. Anyway, thanks for the timely support in the war.
Some of the OpenOffice files can be saved as MS Office files. PS to PDF tools are available in Linux.
With the hatred of MS and the US, and the momentum behind Linux, it will only be a very short time before Italy and other countries will be using Linux, and mandating open source programs in the respective countries. Some are already doing this.
Linux is the beginning of the end for Microsoft. They know this, and it shows through their new licensing schemes. But some countries are resisting, and Linux is too widespread and has too many benefits to have to worry about Microsoft. The only problem is that the change is not coming fast enough for some of us.
Our kids (and some of the kids that post to this site) will in just a few short years regard MS products as we regard the altair now.
