Interesting mental picture about Microsoft's XP Licencing terms *may* be gained
from the following quote (if you're as warped as me !!).
-------
"This Windows XP stuff looks rather exciting!" the PHB gasps, surfing into
Mission Control on the technology wave. "Did you know you can actually have
movies and stuff playing on your machine?"
"Like this?" the PFY asks, firing up a recent release movie on his desktop.
"Yes! Is that XP?"
"No, Linux. Exactly the same except you don't have to loosen your belt when you
license it."

"There are 5.6 billion people in the world, and approximately 400
million installed operating systems. That means 5.2 billion people
have yet to choose their operating system, and we have to get to
them before Bill does." - Jon "maddog" Hall
