Just find a cracked copy and keep it by your computer, and never use the Micro$oft WGA or updates. Instead, use one of the other sites that allow you to update XP via the Firefox browser and stay happy with XP as long as you can!

I do *nix support for a living, and I won’t load linux (again) at home. toooo much hassle. not intuitive, too many versions to get consistent support, drivers are hard to find, lack of software, family members are completely lost, and when it does work, I feel it lacks a lot of the fit, finish and features of Windows.”

Yer full of crap.Tyr Ubuntu Edgy

Ever try jv16 Powertools , from MaceCraft? I've been using it for years. Best Registry cleaner out there, for sure.

Dont forget CentOS which provides 7 years support.

Your problem is you try different distros, of course RedHat and Suse are different, so are Solaris and AIX. You find a distro that works and stay with it.
