Does this imply that in spite of the "dust bunnies", XP is able to
manage the heat of the CPU without causing a shutdown? Perhaps
Microsoft bought them too?

Fact - dust bunnies reduce heat dissipation from CPU.
Fact - Windows still works.
Fact - Linux will start shutting down because of overheating.
Fact - I liberated my dust bunnies and haven't had an overheat since
and don't have to run in powersave all the time anymore to get > 5
mins worth of experience from Linux.
Desire - a more reasonable resolution.

We still don't know how general this problem is to generic 'Linux'.

So there is a problem to fix.

Alternatively, there is a business model for OSS dust bunny liberation
- we can charge per microgram of "bunite".
