What I sometimes find incredible is that some of our 'fellow' shills fail to
see why someone would want such a cheap PC for work. It's akin to "let them
have cakes" because Redmond's troops cannot understand that most people are
unable to afford Surface, let alone a $450 PC, which might require saving
money _for years_.
Linux opens doors.
