People who completely switched to Linux and stopped using Windows.

Do you still have your windows CD (if you use it before)?

What do you plan to do to it? Or what did you do to it if you don't have it any more?

I am kind of thinking to sell mine, since I have no use of it now.

My main PC is still leased, so I feel obliged to hang onto the DVD until the lease expires (only a couple of months or so now). It's an OEM DVD, so I'm not sure how well it would work with any other machine.

I put it in the microwave for 2 seconds, wonderful mini lightning show. Any cd/dvd will work, but for some reason, micro$oft discs are more fun.

Still have all mine, 95 to Win7. I even have millennium :(. I switched over to win7 for a bit and came crawling back to linux after I got 5 BSOD in a week. Ended up making Win7 a guest and will not look back, I love my 9.10.

Sure. You never know when someone might want some free (samples) software. I have the W thing back to 98SE. Would have them back to 3.1 except for my home being destroyed years ago. If nothing else, I view them as relics--like old beer bottles.

I still have the Windows 98SE CD that came with my old desktop, the license sticker is on a book somewhere buried in the clutter.


Hmmmm virtual machine?

The art work on CD is better then the software inside it; so I keep them.

Still have it.

Why? Just in case I suppose.

I guess I'm not psychologically ready to make the full commitment to Linux.

Still have my XP cd in a box somewhere. I might as well give it away, because I don't believe I'll ever use it again.

.....

Maybe I should use my Windows CD like a coaster?
Let it serve me like a low-life coaster for all it's remaining existence? :D

I haven't really removed Windows yet (but I plan to do so).

Yes I still have my Windows disk but even if I did need it, I still wouldn't be able to do anything with it, considering the fact that my computer is a teeny weeny netbook WITHOUT a disk drive in it. :lolflag:

I have my XP 64-bit and Server 2003 disks sitting on my desk. Not serving much purpose, just sitting there if i want to dual-boot sometime or run in a VM.
