how lame is that

I have two computers at home, my main linux mythtv server, and a tiny mini-itx epia (OK, I have more than 3 including my MacBook Pro and Jodi’s Powerbook). Both computers once had windows XP, and yes, I bought valid copies for them. They have been running linux though for almost 2 years, and I just chalked it up as a loss for me (out $150 bucks per machine). Now, though, I want to use vmware server to serve up windows xp on the mythtv server, but, alas, I can’t find that daggone XP certificate/CD that is bound to that CPU forever and ever. That sucks.

WinTel/QEMU here I come — and another $150 to Microsoft for yet another copy of WindowsXP that I’ll probably throw away, again.
