Ah...just a parenthetical aside.  This is quite untrue.  I've replaced
failed motherboards on numerous Windows installations of various versions.
You usually have to do a recovery reinstallation, but it does work, and
your installed programs, data, etc. are all preserved.

I'm not defending Windows--this is more along the lines of "Know thine
enemy".  If you're trying to promote Linux, but express actual falsehoods
about Windows, people will discount all your views.
