Not when they are bad choices. :D |

I have to say, choice is definitely good. Like I choose not to use Windows. ;-) And there are bad choices. But I was focusing on the fact that, normally, people are loading Linux on their Windows boxen, etc. I'm not exactly sure why anyone would _want_to load Windows, and it seems to be a pretty bad choice. But I think it's neat to see something of a role-reversal, if you will. |

> I'm not exactly sure why anyone would _want_to load Windows, and it seems to be a pretty bad choice. Agreed, but we can never know another persons circumstances better than they do. Some people probably have perfectly valid reasons for running Windows. Far fewer than think they do, IMO, but some. |

If I have to reinstall it, do I need to phone MS :D |

jdixon: You are absolutely correct, of course. I can already think of a few excellent reasons to load Windows on my Linux-based cell phone. For example, making sure I infect my phone with the latest viruses, occasionally loading the BSOD (don't forget the reboot), for old times' sake, and occupy my time in the teller line at the bank by going through the registry looking for driver references so arcane, even the original developers can't find them. :-D |
