I'm finally Windows free, it feels kinda strange, gonna leave it like this for awhile to see how it goes. I may never reinstall it ever again.  :cool:

Oh, don't worry, you'll come crawling back to Bill Gates before long!  Just wait until the next version of Everquest comes out or that k3wL new version of Office.

Nice one. My system has been without Windows for a month, and do you know what? I don't miss it. I have not once found the I need to boot to Windows idea enter my head. In fact when I get problems I do what I used to do with Windows, and every other programme I have ever used, I find out how to get around or solve the problem.

50 points I say.

Speaking of humor, be sure to check out this new book I found on amazon.com (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/redirect-to-external-url/002-3599235-6404830?path=http://xpuser.verydirtylaundry.com/002-3599235-6404830.html).
