For my sins, I'm running XP as a LOT of the work I do requires windows (My 
company develops software for windows as well as ASP pages served from IIS). 
Also, the radmin software they have to punch a hole through the company 
firewall is windows only. I have a second box running smoothwall as a 
firewall (really low specs) and I've just installed Fedora on my old windows 
box (somewhere in the middle Spec-wise - an AMD athlon X64) but XP is def. 
the workhorse at the moment

I fully agree. Not to mention the fact that it was using flat-files for a DB 
and using windows shared folders rather than TCP/IP or similar.
