In the words of the immortal Ace Frehley, 'I concur'. Though, I would say the inner music and book whore in me would have that gift card spent in less than a week!

Yup, I agree 100%. I manage a Mac lab and have it set up to dual boot with Windows. First thing I do when setting up a new machine is use a home-brew slipstreamed version of Windows that I have configured to my liking with all the drivers needed. NEVER include XP3 on that custom disk just as I would never think about installing that pig of a resource hog known as Vista (aka. Mojaveeeeeeee! LOL!). Avoid it.
