Well, now there is a good reason not to get an OS .

It sure is for me. All those annoying layers of n00b-friendly crippled interfaces with big colorful rounded icons with shadows, just getting in the way of doing basic things. Stupid wizards with animated characters for a file search that sometimes fails to find files. New innovations in how to make folders named "My X" that are actually misleading shortcuts, and software that assumes I want to use their "My X" disorganization. Whose X? Ya, ok, so you can learn the skill of *****slapping XP's annoying defaults until it works about like Win2K Pro. Or, you can just use Win2K Pro, get a working Search function, less BS, and no "you don't really own your copy of the OS" registration scheme.
