That's not the reason I'm looking to say goodbye to Windows. There hasn't been so much as a tracking cookie on my machine for ages. It's the ever increasing bloat of Windows OS. Of course I haven't tried Windows 7 yet, but I know that using vista on someone else's machine makes me suicidal within five minutes. However it's a moot point because there's software I absolutely have to use and it won't run on anything but Windows.
