Not to mention the amount of extra junk that has to be installed on Windows, that's before they start installing trial versions. At least with Linux these machines can run up to date software, how long will Microsoft keep supporting XP for? I mean I bet it won't be long before they start making things Vista exclusive like new versions of Windows Media Player, Internet Explorer and DirectX. I wonder how well Microsoft will be supporting Windows XP when Windows 7 comes out in a couple of years.
