Why I Use Generic Computers and Open Source Software
Linked by Howard Fosdick on Sat 24th Nov 2012 17:52 UTC
Editorial Do you depend on your computer for your living? If so, I'm sure you've thought long and hard about which hardware and software to use. I'd like to explain why I use generic "white boxes" running open source software. These give me a platform I rely on for 100% availability. They also provide a low-cost solution with excellent security and privacy.

They even had "Hardware profiles in previous versions of Windows."

Good point! I'd forgotten about those. I think they were mostly used for docking stations, but I bet not exclusively.
