In May 2007, Mike Kavis decided that he would change the OS of his laptop to Linux. Furthermore, he decided to use as much non-Microsoft software as possible, while more than 1000 people of the company he works at, use Windows XP with Office.

This whole “Microsoft free” experiment started when a colleague of mine challenged me to eat my own dog food after reading many of my posts about my dabbling with open source technologies. The next day, after a few blue screens of death and various issues with Outlook, I grabbed a Ubuntu CD and installed it on my laptop….at work! From that day forward, I have not used a single Microsoft product at work.
