Microsoft employee blogs about switch to Ubuntu


With the release of Ubuntu 7.04 Feisty Fawn, many users might be considering making the switch to Linux. But one particular user who has decided to blog about his switch is worth noting.


He's a Microsoft employee who has decided that he needs to try something new for his own peace of mind. And the new thing he's trying is Ubuntu.


Now, there are a lot of folks out there who will try to make this into something bigger than it is. He's not giving up on Windows or quitting his job at Microsoft. He's installing and learning to use a new operating system. He even posts that he considered switching to Mac OS X but wasn't ready to buy any new hardware.


But the blog is still worth a read if you've recently installed Ubuntu or are considering making the switch. As he documents his progress, you'll find a good set up tips for using Linux from someone who's used to Windows.
