Windows only used to play a legacy game occasionally, _never_ permitted to 
access a network.  I also keep WinXP pro on my laptop, but I never use it.  
It is there only as a courtesy for my boss and others, should _they_ have an 
issue they need windows for while we are traveling.

Except for that legacy game, 5 years.

Also, at work I use nxclient on a windows host to login to my home network, so 
even at work, I can still use Linux for almost all tasks.
