Yeah, www.ubuntu.com, no activation needed.

I recall an issue like this during Beta 1 or Beta 2. There was a Microsoft
blog about it but for the life of me I cannot frame a search that finds it.
I suggest you try using
http://windowsconnected.com/forums/55/ShowForum.aspx
and start a thread. Sorry I cannot come up with the blog. I think it had
to do with deleting a file and forcing reactivation one more time. Maybe
another of the TechBeta testers that hangs out here can recall.

Yeah, because installing/running Linux is *really* "simple"!

Yes, it is. You slip the CD into your CDROM and watch. When it's done,
you use it. It was *much* easier to install than Windows. Unlike
Windows, you can use the live CD before installing to make sure it
recognizes all your hard ware. I installed it on an old HP and it
recognized and had the drivers for all the hard ware. Either you merely
believe the MS FUD about Linux or you tried it out years ago when it
wasn't so user friendly.
