Heh. I haven't used Windows on my computer since my Win98 crashed on my then dual boot system many years ago. I never bothered to reinstall it, because it always caused trouble, like mysterious booting errors, and I didn't use it much anyway. Also I can't afford to buy M$ programs, like office or photoshop or virus software and all the regular stuff you need, which is why I installed Linux in the first place. Well that and the fact that the errors and crashes were so damn cryptic with Windows. At least when under linux something doesn't work there usually is some discernible reason and internal logic to it, and you can feel in control while you track down tons of How-To and FAQ documents, and wade through list posts spending your next two weekends fixing the problem, and *pretend* it is you who controls what your computer does. ;D
