Microsoft 'OSes' are not cheap
$ 239 Price of Microsoft Vista Home Premium
$ 399 Price of Windows Vista Ultimate
PLUS:
cost of constant anti-virus software
re-installs
Microsoft revoking activation
License prohibit use in virtual machine
users time and stress over being hacked and spywared
countless viruses, worms, tojans, spyware, ....
Instability (even by design "tilt bits", hardware change)
Need high-speed Internet just for all large patches constantly needed.
Just like with windows initial licenses, eComStation is cheaper on a preloaded computer
