Yes... exactly what I thought when I read this. He's one of these folks that
say "let's go crazy and do a 180 for the hack of it". That sharp turn does
not seem to have deterted even a mediocre (not technology-savvy) with a
machine and peripherals that were designed to work with Windows. He could,
of course, have gone for System76 (US-only), or one of the other vendors
which offer preinstalled desktops, servers, and latpops.
