My rational side wonders if this really makes any difference,  how much hardware
without the stupid XP sticker on it do they sell now?  Not much I'll wager.  Who
sells something retail that doesn't support XP?

Not that I ever want to be percieved as being against getting pissed off at
socially irresponsible corporations (would that be all of them?) or knocking
some prep'ies around (thats just good honest fun).
