" computer you'll find that using XP over a year would probably work out to about fifty cents a week -
compare that with what a person's time costs."

so $25/year - cost of XP + M$ word + all the other things that come free with Linux ???

What about the extra support time fixing it when it break again, etc.

What has that guy been smoking ?
OK: I know that Blunkett has almost legalised it in the UK, but I didn't realise that
the take up was that rapid (maybe that is why Ballmer was here for the XP launch).
