The smell of newly purchased stuff... So, there I was, Hauppauge WinTV board in hand, Mandrake 10 installed and ready to rock! Little did I expect that it would come to this. But first things first.

I understand your point you just don't understand mine. I know for a fact that retailers don't sell slipstreamed versions of XP on their computers because a friend of mine just bought one and they offered it to him as an additional service (and additional charge). This means that copies of XP are being used UNPATCHED. Show me where in Linux this is happening right now? I'm not saying it's utterly impossible but it isn't happening with Linux and right now and it is with XP. The current itineration of XP is vulnerable to remote exploit when left unpatched.
Besides Security patches are not really big so you can install them even on dial-up.
Give me a break. Have you actually ever installed updates? It would take me a day at least to take a copy of XP and update it to current on dial-up.
