4.0 out of 5 stars good comparative analysis vis-a-vis Microsoft, August 3, 2005
By W Boudville (Terra, Sol 3) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
The total cost of operation of linux on the desktop is a big theme of the book. While Haletky does go into how to install linux and various common applications, like OpenOffice, this book differs from most linux texts. He discusses at length the realities of users already having legacy documents, and experience, with Microsoft applications. Especially Microsoft Office. While OpenOffice can do the most common tasks that Microsoft Office does, it cannot do many specialised operations. If you have specific need for the latter, you should stay with Microsoft.

There are certainly pros and cons associated with moving from Microsoft to linux. Haletky gives a lucid and balanced treatment of these. Migration "might" save you money. But it is by now means a given.
