Fair point, the major advantage (but probably the worst disadvantage
too) would be a new kernel. EG my housemate's laptop (small acer with
an external firewire DVD-RW drive) won't boot. Her response is "Why
would I leave XP.... at least it works most of the time". Now I know
her machine would work well. Its basically all the same Intel Centrino
Core Duo chipsets as my Dell D620, and I suspect even the DVD will
work with some of the later kernels with some of the firewire
improvements. But she does have a point, one that I suspect a lot of
people see.
