Earlier I stumbled on a Microsoft support page titled How to Remove Linux and Install Windows XP.  I’m not surprised that people would uninstall Linux especially the absolute beginners as I’ve done it myself a couple of times in the past.

Even though Linux has greatly improved it’s desktop environment and user experience, it still comes with a slow learning curve.  My past experiences involves X windows environment crashing because of video drivers not properly recognized, server crashing at times and having to run fsck occasionally.  To a new user, seeing fsck for the first time is probably a shock!  In my case, I have had similar issues on Slackware, SuSE, Fedora, and Ubuntu.

I’ve also had issues with my wireless card not being picked up automatically.  Luckily for me, I’ve had enough patience to look for answers and found helpful people that provided solutions to fix these problems but not everyone has the luxury of time and technical expertise to research and help themselves.

Because of such issues, a good percentage of people come back to Windows after finding Linux a bit hard but these some people come back to it after sometime just like I did.  The Linux community is huge and almost anyone familiar with it is willing to help the newbies.  I’ve written a Linux Reference Guide for Newbies if you’re interested in checking it out.

The Microsoft article linked above is not specific to XP as it should work for any operating system and versions.

Now on to deleting your Linux, here is a snippet from Microsoft, go to How to Remove Linux and Install Windows XP and follow the instructions in detail. 

I wonder how many people this article helped ;)
