However, fairly soon after, Windows XP broke. Time for a reinstall! However, I had no XP CDs, so for the time being I installed Ubuntu. Eventually, I got hold of an XP CD, and when I was ready to put XP on the laptop, my brother refused, he was happy with the "thing I had put on his laptop" (his words).

My brother doesn't carry for computers, he is just happy if he can get on Facebook and MSN. I was slightly confused at why my brother, who has always used Windows, all of a sudden, he wanted Ubuntu. Reason was that it was alot quicker than Windows. Fair point. If all he wants is a Web browser, why do you need Windows.

It seems Ubuntu is having an effect on people, who don't even know what it is!
