Its not the cost of the Windows CD, I get them OEM, it's the overall stability of the Win platform ? still sux as far as I am concerned ? point and click toy ...

Windows is a malignancy ... Stuff it Ballmer ...
Unless you're gaming... [insert favorite flavor of linux here] + vmware/virtualbox + windows client = profit.

Personally, I use a derivative of LMDE. Debian squeeze base install on encrypted lvm with Linux Mint gnome theme... lovely stuff right there.

Though, I used to run Mac OS X on this box but no matter what edits I made to my dsdt, it ran hotter than it should have been...
