And even I am not that stupid. I have no use for Windows as a rule,
but on the last Dell that I got that came with Windows, I removed the
licence sticker, filed it away in case I ever needed it, and *then*
dropped Red Hat 6.2 on the hard drive.

For me, unlike the majority of people that Dave rightly (IMO) pegs in
his article, Windows is most decidedly not free, so when I must part
with some dough in exchange for it, I'm not just going to toss
something that I paid $200 for.
