If it has a bootable DVD drive

It's a Netbook, what do you think?

download that, burn a DVD, boot from it
and see how well the machine responds. If it feels OK clck on install
and erase everything on the disk,

Or install Linux alongside Windows, a much safer / better option
(especially in 160GB and to be used as a WP / web terminal).

for that orgasmic feeling of having
kicked Bill Gates in the nuts.

Until you realise that XP was actually quicker and better (because you
can run what you know on it), then he will be going back to Uncle Bill
for a big portion of humble pie for no reason.

Even you rely on Windows to do things you can't do any other way
(hypocrite).

I wonder what it is that makes people like you ignore things like 80%
of the desktop using market are perfectly happy using Windows ... or
the 66% who were perfectly happy with us in the EU ... ?

Those majorities are all wrong I'm guessing?
