They seem to be quite happy to buy licenses, having just about 5,000 dell machines with XP. I don't have any say in this. It is also a lot easier to put songs on my ipod and other bits on my phone on windows then it is on linux. That's without even speaking about games. Then again the main programs I use are ZOC and Cygwin/X., connected to the Suns and Vaxen humming away, heating up my flat and really annoying the missus. "Why do you need all those computers on when you only ever use one !" . I would also say that this machine XP pro, has not crashed and has behaved it self. I would say the last time it was even rebooted was october when I got a bigger hard drive.
