For those of you who say that it's not really M$'s fault or let M$ off the hook, imagine if you sent your PC with it's side windows and lights and organized cables into a company for repairs. Now imagine that you get back a potentially older PC, more prone to failure in a solid beige case. What would you do?
You can always use virtualization. Personally I find innoteck's VirtualBox the easiest. I use it to run Dev-C++ (for windows bound programming) because Dev-C++ under wine displays dupicates of every file for some reason:(
There's several good websites explaining how to set VirtualBox up, most are for ubuntu but it's pretty much the same for every distro. I run XP Ultimate (as in, Cracked by Johnny (thanks Johnny)) on it and it's nice to beable to launch it to run short, small apps. For every day use, I wouldn't recommend it but I don't think you need to crack PDF's every day, all day.
I stand corrected, if you want to give something a bad review, review something 5 years out of date to compare it with something that has been released a lot more recently.
So every year or two I'll try out the latest version of some Linux distro to see how long it would take to get used to it. In 2005, full of optimism, I cheerfully booted up the latest version of Shrike
Shrike? Shrike? I've used linux for around 4 years and I have never heard of Shrike, and I play around with all the unkown versions too. If you don't want to like linux, why don't you just try and use a distro that isn't mainstream and won't be nearly as easy/good/fun as something like Fendora or Ubuntu. Oh, wait; he did.

So why don't they just use Java's JKD?

That was what, less than an hour?
