I used to agree, however I was one of those poor soles you hear about who actually bought Windows ME, wouldnt work on my system without blue screening every 10 mins or so, and the shope I bought it from wouldnt take it back because it had been opened (How else are you ment to know if it will work or not).
since that tragic time I wont even think of buying an OS I havent allready tried out first on my machine, Sadly the only way to do this is with pirated software, or to borrow a mates copy like I did (though that is just as illegal according to the EULA, wich I have read

)
I do own legal copies of Windows XP Pro & Home now, XP pro I tried out first and XP home came with my laptop so no purchase needed
