Last Thursday OSNews had the opportunity to meet Miguel de Icaza, founder of Gnome, Ximian and among other things leader of the much discussed, Mono project. Miguel is a talented and versatile developer but he is also a very intelligent businessman able to understand the industry on many different levels. Talking to Miguel guarantees that you are very quickly taken away by his enthusiasm and optimism and his thoughtful strategies and vision on how OSS will take over the world.

If more households can afford 500-600 USD for a computer (which is more like what it would be - see my comment above), then why couldn't they afford Windows? Chances are, they're getting a copy of Windows with their new system anyway. Your logic doesn't follow.
Furthermore, if the government can, likewise, afford to pay for public access systems, are you saying they can't afford Windows either? Your rationale doesn't make sense. You can make the philosophical arguement that FOSS is better than proprietary, but that wasn't the original point you were making in the article. Originally, you said that Linux is cheaper than Windows. However, I've just shown your arguement to be logically fallacious.
