Why don't you just take your chance when your parents aren't home, and
wipe out that crap, and install some Linux distro which imitates m$-win,
like http://www.lycoris.org/ (that one imitates win-xp - it even has an
app which opens all ms-office docs in ms-office like apps).
I one saw a box which one guy has made to look like win-98 (in fact it
was KDE). He was showing me his computer, and at first I got disgusted
that he has ms-win. I didn't notice it was not win-98 until he opened an
xterm, and the prompt was user@hostname:~$ and not C:\>
They won't notice it probably for some time, and when they will, just
tell them that this is a new, enhanced version of ms-windows.
