And now MS is attempting to convert everyone to XP, with far less recent 
hardware supported by 2K than by either linux or XP.  If you don't like KDE, 
you've several alternatives in linux.  You know already how much it will cost 
you to install linux on next month's new hardware products.  With XP, you 
don't yet know whether it will be $150 or $950 per box, to support dual 
Hyper-Threaded CPU's.

licenses by use of anything GPL'd, even vim.
