Why I dont use XP
Master of Reality:
but make sure to use linux if you want to play the coolest games hella-fast.. games like RTCW, Quake, Unreal tourny.

Let me just say this:
I HATE UNREAL TOURNAMENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Only 133t k3w1 d00dz wh0 3njoy h0ning th31r sk1llz 24 h0urz a d@y play that game.. The "community" that surrounds UT can only be surpassed in retardedness by the Quake 2 deathmatch fanatics who thankfully are almost extinct now. The ones that still exist can be found in their moldy rooms searching desperately for a Quake 2 server so they can play it on their pentium 233 with their voodoo 2's linked in "SLI" mode. Ugh.
Quake wasn't bad, and some of the mods were great (Team Fortress) but come on, it's six years old.
Heru:
I don't like UT either. I don't have a reason though, I just don't like it.
Anyhow, Linux can run quite a few Windows games, and a few have even beeen ported to Linux. I am trying to kill this misconception that Linux won't play games. Go to www.transgaming.com pay the 15 dollars and download the precompiled binary of Winex(you can get source for free, but the binary has some proprietary crap in it that lets you use Safe-disk copy protected games). WineX is great. I've tested Sim City 2000, StarCraft, Diable 2, and Warcraft 2 in it(hell those are the few windows based games I actually play). And a program is available to let you play Quake 2 in Linux, the program is freeware and you need the Windows version of Quake 2.
As time goes on and Linux increases in popularity on the desktop more and more games will work in Linux, and more will be ported. But if you really like gaming get a console.

Well, with SP1, thankfully you can HIDE all of Microsofts middleware, including IE, OE, WMP and Messenger. IT CAN BE HIDDEN AND PERMENETLY TURNED OFF. HOWEVER, it still does not remove it, and if you want the hard drive space, just delete the folder (all of 5 or 6 megs).
Still, for Linux users, Win 2000 is much better than XP. XP is built for HOME users, thus the new interface (which I like, I use the silver one), and all the wizzards.

i agree, it's moot, why use windows if you don't want all that M$ crap anyway? it's like buying a dog and saying you think you should have the right not to feed him (actually it's not really, but you know what i mean).
