O
Wind down your Windows
ur cover feature in Issue 428 advised
you to ‘Stop Using Google’, prompting
a flurry of emails, tweets and carrier
pigeons pointing out our blatant hypocrisy:
“You say stop using Google, yet you
recommend Google on pages 6, 11, 25
[and so on], and you probably wear
a Google T-shirt and have ‘I love Google’
written on your pencil case!”.
However, as with this issue’s ‘Stop Using
Windows’ feature (page 40), our point was
not to suggest you abandon something
you rely on every day, but to try something
different for a change. Microsoft’s operating
system is the most popular in the world, but
can it match the cloud-based convenience
of ChromeOS or the delightfully different
distros of Linux? We think not, which is why
we’ve devoted eight pages to explaining
why you should switch – if only temporarily
– to a Windows alternative. We’ve also tried
to make this issue as Windows-lite as
possible, though in sections such as
Best Free Software it’s unavoidable!
