On her wrist.
Mr C put Linux on dd's computer several years ago. It has worked out well for her. He is currently using XP and Linux both on his computer but is getting ready to dump xp on the pc hooked up to our tv. I'm using Mint 17 currently and have had no problems with it. He attends a group with guys who are more involved with using Linux professionally as I understand it.
We use LibreOffice on our pcs. I think Office 97 was the last MS Office version we had.
Windows 10 Starts Charging For Missing Features
1. Solitaire
Yes, surprising as it might seem, Microsoft has announced it will actually charge users a monthly subscription to play Solitaire – a free staple of Windows releases since Windows 3.0 in 1990.
Having been stripped out of Windows 10, Solitare is now found in the Windows Store and it is a freemium download. This means it can be used for free, but is ad supported and in this case the ads are highly invasive with mandatory 30 second video slots playing over the screen between every game. If you want to switch that off you must pay Microsoft $1.49 per month or $9.99 per year.

Just kidding, the last time I played solitaire was probably Windows 3.1. I remember at the end of the game, the cascading cards would fall so slowly and gracefully, when I updated the processor, it happened so fast I couldn't appreciate it anymore. :lol:
It's an interesting business model, call it "free" and then charge for services.

Want to watch a DVD movie on your Windows 10 computer using a first-party app? You won’t find one pre-installed, but Microsoft will gladly sell one to you — for $15.
