To be honest, I think MS is shameless, and nothing really embarasses them.
I checked out Windows XP on Amazon: 170 GBP. OUCH! DOUBLE OUCH! I've
seen new up-to-date computers that I could buy (admittedly without
monitors) for just a tad over that (check out ebuyer, for example).
Oh how I wish everybody would just switch to Linux. It's got emacs,
tonnes of programming languages ready to rumble. KDE even has its own WP
and spreadsheet (OK, there's OpenOffice, but it's so sllllow). Maybe not
the last word in word processors and spreadsheets, but it's there.
