Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: OpenOffice to be dumped in Freiburg ?

Hi :)
Errr, but i always avoid removing a Windows even if i think i'll never use it or need it.  
Apparently with Win8 it's going to be even more important to keep the OS that is installed by the 
shop if you want to be able to return the machine for them to fix hardware issues.  At least if 
it's on the machine you can set Grub to hide itself and boot straight into Windows.  

Regards from
Tom :)

 thing I do when I get a computer is to install Ubuntu as a dual boot system. The next thing I do 
in Windows is to delete the trial version of MS Office.
