And unlike Linux from 2001 -- which didn't suck quite as much 
as Linux 2009 -- Windows XP is still a widely-used and somewhat
supported operating system that you can actually use and run

In 1995, Linux was almost a bicycle; an alternative way of live to the
Windows petrol beasts that had to be taken to the dealer for service.
By 2008, Linux has bloated into a gas-guzzler, and the cycle paths 
have been replaced with polluted motorways.
