   Never mind Hadron. He defends Windows whenever he can.   
      
   WinXP looked like a toy compared to GNU/Linux distros at that time   
   even. I can recall myself installing KDE 3.something late 2002, which   
   brought me a very modern desktop environment with very nice and slick   
   graphics. And of course tons of functionality that XP users could only   
   dream of.
