    All your XPs are belong to us.


    You will be assimilated.


    Nah, I don't care. I understand that there are some people who need to. If you're stupid enough to do it just because you WANT to, well, I can't control that.

    I don't like the fluffy UI of XP so I would choose win2k with firefox and thunderbird like I use on my PC's, to run on a MAC now that I know they can have cool mice too.

    There has been an update - seems like it's more likely to drive you crazy as "your fans may whirr constantly" and therefore "XP won't melt your Mac."
