I have nothing personally against Linux builds... but they're totally 
useless to me.  There is no software for my webstation that will run on
it, 
nor are there versions of much of the other software I have and use 
constantly.  Aside from that, as was brought up before, the simplest thing

to do in XP is a major PITA in Linux, unless you are practically a 
command-level user: Installing new software. I have tried at least 8 
different iterations of Linux, and each of them has been a major headache,

telling me things like "you need this file in order to install this other 
file" or simple networking that refuses to see anything else on our LAN 
(though it does pop right up onto the web... )
