Ok, I didn't "buy" Windows ME, I freeloaded it off of my dad, because I knew I'd be "buying" a Mc with my own money, I never paid for one of their OS's, nor do I like them, I'm not buying any new MS machines, I'll either buy a Bare-bones Box and Instal Linux, or I'll buy a Mac. I'm using Office XP, not because I wanted it, but because I'm on home instrucion form the high-school and thery "Demanded" it for classes, again I didn't pay for it, my dad did. M$ has me in theri database, but in a few years, M$ will be a distant memory for me, and it was only after WinXP was released that I truly started to hate M$ as much as I currently do.

I'll buy their stuff that's "Compatible" with my system and is not a new OS or part of an OS, but when it's time for a new Comp, it's either a Linux Box, or a Mac, I've got an Aunt in the IT buiseness, and she's building a Linux Box, if I could find a way to put the system together with Zero M$ hardware and only Linux Stuff, I'd do that, the worst-case sencario is having to install WinXP jusat to wipe it out, then I'll throw the disks away after installing Linux. M$ has gone too far, and I haven't bought any M$ specific programs in ages, I've gotten new Hardware replaced under warrenty, but I haven't bought any "PC Specific" hardware, I bought a USB Huub and a USB amePad, they're Mac-Compatible, and aren't made by M$.
