That's neither really nice nor true. The fact Alex prefers to use XP 
*atm* for *this task* doesn't make it any wiser to leave Ubuntu. In 
fact, he never stated he was going to do it. Keeping XP for a while just 
for the few tasks he still doesn't know how to do on Linux while 
*keeping* Ubuntu for all the tasks that are unwise to do on XP 
(especially for beginners) seems the wisest choice.
