It seems that some well-known users are switching from MacOS to Linux, often after a lifetime of involvement with Apple's products. From Tim Bray's blog: "[...] as I stood in the Apple store last weekend and drooled over the beautiful, beautiful hardware, all I could think was how much work it would take to twiddle with the default settings, install third-party software, and hide all the commercial tie-ins so I could pretend I was in control of my own computer. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and to my eye Apple isn't beautiful anymore."

After setting up a few Dell laptops lately, my personal policy has become to reformat the drive and reinstall with a clean copy of XP (aka: not the restore CD) - it's less time-consuming than finding and removing all the garbage that big OEMs like to include.
You were able to put on a clean copy of XP? Everytime I try, I find that the CD key is tied to the recovery CD and won't work with a regular XP install disk.
