All very PC  but if you've ever shopped for a netbook, you will find that you 
can get a LOT more hardware for the same money by buying a Windows netbook and 
then adding Linux.   Lets say a  160GB HD (Windows) versus a 40GB HD (Linux) 
for the same money and possibly more RAM as well.

I'm not going to pass on those bennies just to vote for Linux.  Sorry.
