That's not necessarily true. Lots of lawyers get a s****ts car, and
hawe to make the transition from automatic transmission to 5 speed
stick ****ft. If they see value and satisfaction in it, they will do
it.

And they shouldn't! A lawyer's billing rate can be as high as $400
per hour in the US, and he doesn't want to waste his valuable billable
time futzing with Linux installation. If he wants Linux, he should
purchase a machine with Linux preinstalled, perhaps Em****or Linux.
Alternatively, he could hire someone to create a Linux system for
him. It's a bit like having a body shop turn your luxury car into a
convertable, or adding a sun roof. You can buy one from the factory
that way, but if you want exactly what you want, you can get a more
specific custom built job. If you have enough money, you can have an
entire motorcycle done by Orange County Choppers or a car custom built
by a custom shop.
How many lawyers do you know who spend their weekends and evenings
working on their own cars?

You can get them from other lawyers.

Of course, most courts won't accept Microsoft word do***ents. They
will accept PDF, WordPerfect markup, and many courts now accept Open
Do***ent Format.
The problem with Word do***ents is that do***ents can be challenged
because the version of word rendering a 15 year old do***ent won't
look exactly like the original do***ent. Ask Dan Rather about that
one.

So you should probably be sticking with Windows XP, or maybe you are
one of those who is still using Windows 2000.
