I don't want it.
When I get my new hardware.. I'm going with Debian.  I'm specifcally getting a NVidia card, due to better linux support.

Microsoft's last stunt with WGA is too much for me, I'm basically done with windows.

A nice response in the CAL forums, went something like this:

"I'll just stick with my Windows Vista theme, thanks"

"There are so many steps involved in tweaking the last uumph out of your linux system- and it really is a work of art to pull it off- I have used many different kernels and all sorts of optimization combinations-yesterday I finally used -noatime and -notail for my reiserfs file system: The single biggest performance boost I have yet to see-now I can have gnome2.2 running using gnome-terminal to compile the latest j2sdk from source (nice -n 19)while browsing with mozilla while running e17 in a seperate login with two eterms and run Unreal Tournament at full speed (this with an apache webserver running for my dyndns pseudo-domain and a mysql for my answering-machine software for my isdn card-which keeps track of all incomming phonecalls and manages my telephone book app and ntfsd/sshd/dhcp server/squid)..."

You know when you're getting old when such rational conversations sound like gibberish.
