All OS'es which were better than Windows 3.11, have had considerably more expensive Hardware. Let them say what they want, Linux in honor, but XP (not much slower than NT4 but plays any stuff) or Windows 7 (widgets gadget candywork) is faster than Linux and easier to keep in working order. I thought a Nt4 like (KDE 3.5) GUI should be faster than XP... ..... that's the price on the other hand you have free drivers for all hardware relating to PC's and MS OS'es. Faster, too.... again :-) -- Daniel Mandic

Whether you get a > free version from Microsoft or a different free version from someone > else, it's free. It doesn't have to do with what's on the box. Most of Microsoft's "freeware" stuff comes without a separate EULA from Windows; it come only with addendums to the OS license and the addendums are invalid without an OS license. Since the only way to get a license to use the "freeware" is to buy it that license from Microsoft (or a MS vendor), there are plenty of people who won't consider that stuff freeware. This has been gone over in a.c.f a few times, with at least as much heat as light, if you want to try Google's archives.
