I just consigned windows to a read-only VM for ever. If it wasn't for Rev and it's failings on Linux, I wouldn't be running Windows at all.
After getting a malware infection that disabled my AV and Windows Defender, and wouldn't let me reinstall AV (not even from "safe" mode), I restored the laptop from the official restore disks. That restore failed. Then I tried to install vanilla Vista. That failed (wouldn't accept the license number that came with the DVD, a DVD that came directly from Microsoft themselves). So I went back to use XP -- multiple BSODs, during the install. I considered getting Windows 7, but after reading the reviews over on Amazon, I decided I wasn't throwing more money at MS. I tried ubuntu 9.10. It asked a few questions, then installed in about 20 mins, everything working. Ten years ago it was so hard to get Linux up and running compared to Windows. Now the tables have turned. If it wasn't for their abusive monopoly position, there is no way MS would be able to get away with such rubbish.
