what about people with old machines on XP.... I already got a friend who
had an older laptop for his son, I installed ubuntu on it for him. Got
rid of all the old windows viruses and it runs FAST now, he is really
happy.. XP support is going to run out in April, and unless people want
to BUY Windows 8.1 ( shudder), the cheap, free, and easy way to FIX it
is to install linux..
