Get linux and WINE, they're both free. WINE is a windows emulator so you can run most of your windows apps. I think there was some XP-like linux distro, i think imsati knows the link to that website that lists all(most?) linux distros... i think it was distrowatch or something.

If you do NOT want to do it the legal way... too bad, go mad, we can't help

I say abandon the Windows World for good... if Windows acts up like this, it doesn't deserve your time, hard disk space, and money. I agree with hackapelite, get a Linux distro.

Windows has wronged me soooo many times...I left the Windows world and am not coming back (I might visit it every once in a while)

Sure you could get linux if you never want to play games!!

For what I know, WINE works well with most/many games. Not sure though, have a look at WineHQ's Application Database to see if your windows programs and/or games will work on linux.

Application Database: http://appdb.winehq.org/

Wine home: http://www.winehq.org

Also, you might want to try Crossover Games if your games don't work with WINE. I'm not too familiar with it though, as a matter of fact I heard of it just now...
