Why do you think I have Ubuntu running on two systems now? Dual boot
with XP still on one, exclusively now on my laptop. The computer I am
using right now is the only one that I use on a regular basis that
only has XP on it. Only going to use it for 2 more months so not going
to worry about changing this one.

So yea, I don't like it..I don't agree with it..and I am not buying
it.

But my question wasn't "What can I do about it?" I know the answer to
that one. =)
