Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon — 

I wrote elsewhere about my horrible experience with Vista Ultimate, but I have to also share my admiration for Ubuntu. After buying a new Dell that came preloaded with Vista, I gave up after a week of frustration (and yes, I am an IT consultant) and moved on to Ubuntu 7.10. I had installed Breezy Badger on an old Dell laptop I had lying around a few years ago and never had any problems with it, so I was not suprised that I fell in love with Gutsy Gibbon immediately. It's free, functional and easy to use. Anyone that has used an Apple in the past few years will immediately feel at home and Windows users should be able to adapt painlessly.

Yes, but what application will I be able to use with it; e.g. can i run quicken, iTunes, the MS Office suite, Real Player, Quicktime, etc. on this OS?
