I hate MS as much as the next guy (I don't run it at all at home, although it is available via dual boot), but this is really the fault of the pc maker/distributors. I haven't seen a single pc in the past couple of years that actually came with a real install disk. Every one has a "recovery" disk, and if you do use the disk to "recover" your trashed windows each one will format the hd and return the system to exactly what it was when it came from the factory. If you dual boot (or quad boot as I do with one machine at work), you can't use the windisk supplied with the machine or your multi-boot will be toast. The Windows tax paid gets a useless recovery disk--gripes me to no end, especially when I have to dual boot because of legacy apps that won't run on NT/W2K. These suckers trash W98 and DOS dual boots as well as Linux--they're non-discriminatory in that regard.
