Spice up Windows - replace it with Linux - Introduction

I decided to write a series of essays about moving from Windows system to a Linux one. There are plenty resources online that can help with this transition. I just thought to make an easy one and with explaining each step of doing so.

First of all, the main issue with the series: it is not intended for the following audience:

• Gamers
  
• Video/Audio professionals using specialized tools
  
• Photo professionals using Photoshop
  
• Professional artists using specialized tools for their work.
  

I believe that these posts will be helpful to the following minorities of users:

• Internet users (mainly browsers users, IM/Chat users, email users, internet video/internet radio users, p2p users)
  
• Writers (including bloggers)
  
• Office/Production workers without specially customized Microsoft Office applications.
  
• Music, video and movies consumers
  

I will explain each step in the process and provide information about it.

Good luck you all!
