[ubuntu-uk] Microsoft launches PC rebuilding scheme

[Rob Beard]

Looks like M$ have launched a scheme where old computers are redistributed.

As I mention on the comments on the article, thats all well and good  
but what happens when the software support ends (in 2008 for XP) as I  
bet these machines won't run Vista whatsoever.

I would have thought for older machines Ubuntu 6.06 with it's long  
term support would be a better idea than any M$ software.
