I wonder if you considered the privacy issue with Windows XP? You must "phone
home" to activate it, and you cannot reinstall it without doing the same.
Microsoft accesses and stores in their archives certain private information
about you and your computer system, then has the ability to grant or deny you
access to Windows XP and your own computer! At least that is what I hear, so I
am leary of it.
