Verily I say unto thee, that Roy Schestowitz spake thusly:

Erm ... I think GCC *is* actually built with GCC :)
I think the point WRT burning *anything* under Visduh is that it tends
to produce incompatible discs by default (UDF2.5, or "Live File System"
as the Vole calls it). Although I'm pretty sure Linux now supports UDF
up to 2.5, if not 2.6. I have no idea what level of UDF XP supports
natively, if any.
WRT the topic at hand ... no surprise there, other than the fact that
apparently Microsoft seems to be losing its grip even on the die-hard
OEM channels that usually prop up the sales figures with stuffing.
Given the disastrous performance of Vista within those channels (Dixons
for example), Microsoft will have a tough job convincing them to stuff
warehouses again, certainly not to the extent they did with Visduh.
