"(as Peet mentioned above)" - while it's nice to have a namecheck, I think you'll find that refers to a posting that didn't actually make it into the final cut of the article. Best if you lose it. (It's in the "Windows vs. Linux" section)

In the XP section, " try the following running the Compatibility Wizard Program." would read better as " try running the Compatibility Wizard Program."
