when you buy a computer off the shelf, don't they have windows on 
them? 

if that doesn't count, can I sneak in too? I just bought a Compaq off 
he shelf and ran XP for a couple of weeks but then put in an extra HD 
and boot to Linux. 

or am I sullied by having run XP for several weeks?

I started out with DOS, then 4DOS and Desqview. I loved Desqview! I 
then went to OS/2 and Linux.
