Let's make a list of why Windows sucks
jtpenrod:
And let's not forget that it obsoletes otherwise perfectly good systems. I have a Dell Dimension from 1996 that runs Slack (with KDE no less) with 64MB RAM, a P-I, and two HDs: 1.5GB and 2.0GB.
No way you could run XP on that. If you're not doing heavy number crunching, this ssytem is still quite serviceable for doing most of what most people use PCs for anyway.

* crappy, unfriendly installer with a crappy, unfriendly partitioner (would it be so hard to tell us the partition type like every other partitioner in the world?)

piratePenguin:
I tried to install fucking windows 2000 and the son of a bitch decided to (a) fuck up the bootable flag on the hdd and (b) delete GRUB, all just before it realized the harddrive's in too bad of a condition to install.
You'd think it would check BEFORE it fucks shit up.
So I had to spend some time in the Ubuntu livecd fixing it, damn I love that livecd.
btw, ubuntu's running pretty much perfect on this "shitty" drive.

Well you could always run a live CD if your HDD fails ... and upload all your files to Gmail like I do, or some other online storage places. Or you could buy a new HDD or dumpster dive for one or get one from an old Xbox (like me)
