I personally bought my Dell Latitude D830 with the Windows Vista license
and install Linux.  Then i can legally run XP or Vista in a VMware VM.
I know it's not the "right thing" in terms of sending the right message
to Dell and MS, but the fact is that i need both Linux and Windows to
support my clients.
