This is for people who know nothing about computers. There's no
point giving them choices. In fact, they don't want choices. They'll pay
for a basic PC which works and is reliable. Or they'll pay MS for
something they don't want or need (and trojans, spyware, etc.)

I'm talking about people who not only can't install a program, they
don't even know what a program is. They currently pay way too much for
an XP box, and will never understand or use 95% of it. Why not give them
something more appropriate instead?

Anyone with even the faintest interest in or knowledge of computers
wouldn't want this, but we're a minority.
