A friend of mine (newbie) wants to buy a computer for some web browsing, emails, photos organization. These things don't require windows, but she is going to learn accounting and might need to use "hashavshevet" (השבשבת) accounting program.<br>

IMHO this is a mistake. In order to get a job as a bookkeeper, your friend is going to have to take a course and become certified as a bookkeeper. The course will focus on using hashavshevet (or an equivalent program) under WINDOWS. Not having Windows at home will make her life difficult and put her at a disadvantage taking the course, passing the exam, and getting work. </blockquote>

IMHO she should also have reasonable fluency in Word and Excel as employers want it.<br>

I think that she would want the most direct route to go from where she is now to employed, and not take any side </blockquote><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left:1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204);margin:0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex;padding-left:1ex">
