I might consider actually buying it if I have a post 2001 system to run it - which I am planning on getting this year.

(USB 1.1 takes a looooong time to transfer files from a thumb drive compared to a laptop with USB 2)
never have payed for win2k or XP but it might be worth it for this to dual boot with Ubuntu. The brief review I read earlier tonight said it was Vista with many of the bugs ironed out, and questioned why someone who already bought Vista should have to pay for this in final release form.
