Wot? I must say that in my experience, the opposite is true.
In the good old days, when we painted our feet black and laced our toes, I
had nothing but problems getting distros to detect my "exotic" hardware.
These days it almost never happens.

Of course, but you know what will happen dont you? You will likely find
the answer to the life, the universe and all that. But your XP issue will
remain. Anyway its very easy to fix windows issues, just re-install.
