The price of XP is incredibly high - if all you want to do is run an old PC as a webcam-based security system for example. Surely Microsoft could provide a "bare bones" version of XP for $50 or so?

If not, I hope that the arrogant bully boy tactics MS are employing means that Linux takes off in a big way.
