Comment Re:I wonder if many install Windows themselves (Score 1) 389

I'm also a Linux user, but I can give you some advice in this regard. To avoid Service Pack woes (and also driver woes if you have a specific system in mind), you can create a slipstream disc that has the SPs and drivers on it.

If you create the slipstream disc once, and reinstall Windows more than once, you've already saved yourself some time.

Hah. Hahah. No sane person drives their car into New York City, especially not Manhattan. You get your choice of a $40/day parking garage, or daily bumper abuse when you so happen to find a spot to park. I don't care how crappy the MTA's service is. It is less crowded, less expensive, and more convenient than sitting in traffic and trying to cram your car onto Manhattan island somewhere.
