How do I get my fiancee to switch to Ubuntu?

Hi Steve,

We know how it is when trying to convince loved ones to change web browsers, operating systems, email providers, et cetera :) At iGetcha, we are more focused on getting the nonprofit world to utilize free and open source solutions because of long-term sustainability. And, we try not to push others, outside the nonprofit and ngo world, towards free and open source solutions simply because we understand the switching costs involved. For instance, some users have their favorite brand, application preferences, release version attachments, et cetera.

One thought for the future is, technology always approaches zero cost as the world advances and right now, free and open source is already at that zero cost besides downloading the software. Eventually, proprietary software will have to offer their software at zero cost with value added services. Since free and open source software already offer the nonprofit community no cost solutions, the service level is already improving and in the long-term, iGetcha predicts a complete shift. Again, we do not dislike proprietary software. All we favor is what is best for the nonprofit community and sustainability of their programs.

Regards,

The iGetcha Team :)
