Some weeks ago, one of teachers at the school where I work, came to me to say 
that "I can't find Windows on my laptop".  So I fires it up, and up comes XP.  
"There you go, that's Windows".  "No it's not", says the teacher, "I want to 
do some word processing, and I can't".  "Ahhh", says I, "You want either a 
word processor, or preferably an office suite, and XP doesn't come with 
that".  "Oh", says teacher, "What can I do?"  "Well, either spend more money 
and buy MS/Office or we can install Open Office for free".  "I'll go and have 
a think", says teacher and AFAIK he's still thinking about it.
