I've been trying Linux on and off for a couple of years. My first experience with Linux was with a version of Slackware (can't remember) way back in 1996. At the time the installation was so daunting that I gave up all together. For a little background I consider myself a proficient computer user.

Did you know that Win XP tries in about 16 ways to communicate outside it's box?
I'm sure there are more than that - you just aren't looking hard enough and you forgot to wear your foil hat.
Everytime you put a music or DVD disc into a MS Windows XP box MS knows about it.
Bullshiat. Unless you are referring to Windows Media Player's "Allow Annonymous usage Statistics" option which you can set to either "on" or "off" during WMP installation.
Every time you update your PC, MS knows about it.
Nope. All that Windows update v4 checks is your productID against a blacklist. If you have an invalid productID it dosen't allow you to update. They don't track individual computers or keep tabs on each computer that updates.
EVery time you install Win XP you must ask MS permission and blessing to do so.
Theres a cure for that.
