I am surprised it is so small. I would expect at least 1/2 of the
sucker to side-grade (upgrade?) to XP.
If 1/3 change, and 1/3 switch to make vista behave as 2000 (classic)
then the rest are just stuck, or maybe a few actually like it.

The problem with that is that many of us are tethered to M/S due to
our career choices. If a system you are using to earn the money that
you need to buy food and beer is only M/S comparable, you have no

OS X of the Leopard style is pretty much compatible with current
intel chips. This has allowed a bunch of folks to build OS X peecee
for $600 that blows the doors off the Apple computers. Not at all
legal as far as EULA, but who gives a rip?

I have been thinking about downgrading myself. Wonder what kind of
hassle that would be on an established machine? I tried wiping the
drive and installing xp when I first got this machine but my sound and
video did not work right.

my guess is few. casual users tend not to be aware that they have options
beyond MS
even i have to use xp more than i'd like as some stuff i need to use seems
to only work on xp. i'd use mandriva 90% of hte time otherwise.

Count me among them.
Unless you count that whole spontaneous crash thing, there is not much

I haven't used Microsoft at home for at least a decade.
