| The point being missed here is that these people have already gone
| through quite a good deal of inconvenience with Microsoft Windows,
| an inconvenience which actually very likely outways the inconvenience
| that is anticipated with a Free Software box. What is this
| inconvenience? Do we really need a list? Aren't the price of
| additional applications they have to buy after they bought
| the computer, the DRM restrictions dictating how they use their
| computer, the instability and insecurity caused by the proprietary
| hidden architecture of the system and the resulting blue screens
| of death, enough??
