Since most people I know purchase the OS already installed on the box when 
they purchase it, FUD it is for certain.  Of course, given the tendency 
for windows to require re-installation...

<<sigh>> Last week I lost a battle with a Win98 box for my girlfriend,

changes to something else, my chance of moving her off Windows is exactly 
nil...
