I’ve been toying with the idea of “going to Linux” for a while now (cue “M$/windows is bad” remarks) and found a site which lists alternatives for all the popular windows applications.
After having a look through this list I found mysef thinging there is a Linux alternative for pretty much every windows based application out there, and if there isn’t you can probably run the windows based application within Linux anyway now (thanks to Wine) — so in summary, there is no real reason not to switch and will do so when I buy a new PC to “play” on.
