That's not quite the situation, but thanks for the sc tip. It looks great, but again it's not really Excel that's keeping me on Windows. Phone has been Linux for 5+ years, at least (n900).

I have ended up running Win7 with a few 'Linuxes' in VMs. One main one, really though. #! for those who care... sadly recently discontinued.

The main reason I stick with Win7 is a) legacy reasons of my own, I suppose we could call them, and b) translation software. The FOSS alternatives aren't quite there yet (for heavy use), although I'd love to sit down for a few months/years and try to create one. A vi-like CAT tool that produced translation memories and lightning quick concordance... that's the dream.

Similar to Macha's POV, sometimes you just need to work with people who have no concept of free computing.

What's your translation software?

MemoQ, for the most part!

It's .Net software so it should run in theory under Linux. Certainly under a VM, potentially with Mono. I haven't tried either.

Thanks, I have only used Virtaal, and white it works, it feels too basic.
