Of course, I didn't know your exact situation but did think about you when that was in the news.
Loss of income always hurts.
From wht I've seen of Mint so far, it was made for the Windows user but still it lets you know It is Linux. I'm not going to spend the money on windows 7, even though It's the best I've ever seen and worth the price. Like everyone, I have to prioritize where to put my computer money and Mint 7 won! I think Mint is going to be that good as well. They still have some work to do on the 64bit version but this just might hurt MS a little.
Time to take some casters off.
