Ubantu 9.10 is the best alternative of Microsoft operating system but the thing is people are not familiar with such operating system. If we talk about supporting software and utilities, than there is no awareness about it.
Narendra, it will be more helpful if you can share few more things about ubantu and supported software utilities which can replace Microsoft operating system.
