Given the choice between XP and Knoppix I would choose XP, but only because
I know the underlying OS better so I stand a better chance of bending it to
my will. However add one more feature to XP in order to exploit consumers
and that could easily push the balance over to make me pick Knoppix, it's
very close at the moment.
