And do you bloat up the price of your Linux system by bying an MS license,
too ? I think you shoot a bit beside the target here, I never ever met a
system where Window helped me with HW diagnostics when I couldn't do it
with Linux. Usually Windows is much worse (and you can't boot a Windows
off a CDROM like you can boot Linux !).
