Micro$ith? Micro$ux?

I bought my first PC just before Win95 hit the market, and ran Win3.1 until it got to the point where it was getting nigh impossible to get software for it. Then I went to Win98, and ran it until just over a year ago when we broke down and bought a new computer that has XP Media. The old box still has 98, though I have to admit that there's a BIG difference in the stability of the two systems. We've considered putting XP on the 8 box, but I refuse to give MS that kind of money.

I plan on keeping XP as long as we can manage. If/when it gets to the point where it's starting to get problematic, maybe I'll give Linux another chance (I tried putting it on a 2nd drive on the 98 box, and it quickly became more of a headache than it was worth, even when I disconnected the drive with 98 on it.)
