I haven't run into any dependency issues with Windows XP yet. I have been running it since it was released. It hasn't locked up on me yet either.
I agree with you when it comes to MS's activation policy. Of course I run corporate software which doesn't require any activation.
Where is your proof that MS sends information to 3rd parties? That is the opposite of what their privacy policy says. My hardware firewall would have let me know if this was going on... and it hasn't.
My MS Office blocks any spam that is sent to my email too...
The only time you have to reactivate is when you change a major component like a processor. You can install and reconfigure your hardware all you want and not be forced to reactivate.
I don't get spam from websites I visit.
If you apply patches when they come out, just like you must with any other OS you don't have to worry about MS blaster etc.
I don't feel safe installing software on my machine that a 16 year old helped develop. Maybe Linux has backdoors and is selling your information to 3rd parties to make a buck off of you, it hasn't happened to me yet.
