As a system administrator, I have used Windows on the desktop since 2.0 and used to run Windows XP at home for my family. I use Linux and Windows servers at work and prefer (Red Hat) Linux for its security, stability and usefulness in a company with a diminishing IT budget. More than a year ago I started experimenting with Linux as a desktop solution and after installing and using more than 7 different distros along with many various versions of those distros, I found a distro that is doing everything its suppose to do, right out of the box. I'm talking about the pleasantly suprising
Lindows 4.0.
A builder can ship as many copies of LindowsOS on as many computers as he wants for only $100 a year.
If a builder ONLY sells even 5 computer a month (most of our builders sell hundreds), then yes, he needs to pass on a whopping $1.67 per computer to the consumer.
That's a far cry cheaper than $100 PER COMPUTER!
