I haven't had any blue screen of death for ages..years even..LOL

I still use windows XP - until it expires anyway (this June is what they are saying.), plus I try various Linux distros as they come out as a dual boot system..
I'll go 100% Linux when my XP expires.

Linux distros got put on all our laptops as soon as the warranties expired..

My latest laptop is a refurbished Dell that came with Vista, the guy said I could install Linux right away if I wanted to and it wouldn't void his warranty - small local business so he could make his own rules ...
