Yes :-) At least, there's a good reason I need some version of Windows, and
I don't have CDs for anything later than Win98.

There are some programs for which there are no good Linux equivalents
(yet). And I have experienced problems with Linux laptops in some hotels.

And sometimes, it's just not worth arguing with people and is just much
easier to boot into an OS to which one knows they can't simply say "Linux?
We don't support that".

I don't honestly expect to use Windows much. But it's nice to have it
there. Especially since I've paid for the piece of junk.

Especially since I've just spent the entire afternoon trying to get
wireless working under Linux, and still not succeeded (although I think I'm
close).
