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.

"Really? So if I were to reinstall XP on this PC, I would have to call them on the phone and say "Can I please re-install XP?""
Yes you actually do. I've had fun time trying to explain to them that the install was from a ghost of the hard disc before it got corruption and had to explain to them nicely what had gone on and in effect beg them to let me re-activate the product.
However...
" The product was apparently activated before I got this machine, so I have never had to ask MS once to activate it."
Just where did you get this copy from? It sounds like a corporate edition which never requires activation. You a corporate?
