If you are doing word merges or something and need to have a standardized load then you are kind of locked on there. We aren’t all lucky enough to have an in house team that will build a one-off app to do whatever.
Extra-stuck if it is postage or banking related.
Now, if it was a home PC, then the Windows tax is making less and less sense.
May be with your time to move your work stuff over to a used business-class machine. You can sometimes find them on the cheap at auction or whatever. My current batch was acquired for a song. If you live anywhere near Cincinnati Ohio I can get you one for extra cheap. I’d rather take the talk to DM, though.
Nah, I need those fonts for my job unfortunately, because we have standardized fonts and we use a program that explicitly requires Microsoft Word.
I’m not saying you have to do it but you can get the standard Microsoft fonts on Linux, they are just an extra download.

Yeah, I can’t wait to ditch it for linux. Although the Windows tax is not as expensive as the Apple tax. You mostly pay with your nerves…
Well, the dual use of work and home pc kinda fucks it up for me personally.

I live in Germany. Does DM still make any sense?
Look, if I could get it to you for cost I would.
