i have no problem with many ms products.  dual boot? nah! i have another 
machine just for win 2000, and recommend it (with a few warnings) to any one 
who doesn't want to tackle linux.  office 97 is also very nice, but IE and 
"lookout!" are worse than bad software, they actually make everything else 
worse.

....but the backdoor politics should be known, still, as you say, it does 
little to help things.
