Holy s**t, $140 for XP? It's not even supported anymore! And it's proprietary.

No. Screw that. I'll stick with Linux.

XP is still supported by MS. They were basically made to swear they would continue supporting it till like, 2011? 2012? Something like that. Whenever Windows 7 comes out, then they stop. Like with 98. They supported that hunk o'crap up until recently.
