To cry or not to cry that is the question

i have been using Libranet ( a Debian based Linux distro) for quite some time now and have always dual booted with the windies (XP) tonight upon getting home i decided id do a fresh and dandy little re-install.............

having my mind on other things i accidentally flattened my XP install

i have always run windows for my games especially CS:S as getting them to run under Libranet was proving more hassle than it was worth.

As if by fate it also occurs that today one of the lads i work with sent me a link to an app id never used before as having heard a few peeps who had tried it and been burnt i stayed away, an application for games by transgaming. i bit the bullet payed the subscription and Shazam 7 bags of green fairy dust, it installed without hicup and cs:s is on its way down hl2 works and so do the other games im playing at the moment and its world of warcraft ready.

Now the poll is the simple bit i was wondering................

Do i get angry at losing my windows install? and reinstall

Or do i rejoice in the fact that i have eventually crossed the last barrier that stopped me removing windows (i.e my games now work under my linux install) and say hello to the extra drive space for the pc?

Noooo stay in the darkside - you know you love windows really

Install Windows in case you come across something that doesn't want to work under Linux.

Get Xandros 3, Linspire of another Linux distro that'll run windoze apps & put it in the spare drive space.

I voted for the secret 4th option of "burn the pc and go back to a slate and some chalk"
