(Yes, > you can at least recover the files. But you cannot recover the installs.) 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.
