One thing that is frustrating, at least for me, is that when I buy a new PC
I have to pay more for a PC without an operating system than for a PC with
Windows included. I am not sure that's the fact all over the world, but it
is at least here in my "odd" country. So it feels like if I want a new PC
with Linux, at least I either have to pay for:

1. Windows + PC
or
2. PC + "avoid Windows fee"

where 2 is more expensive than 1...

Doesn't sound fair to me. Why should I pay for avoiding something?

Maybe this is not 100% true, but it least it feels like it is.

P.S. I just remembered a funny thing I often read in the local Dell ads in
the papers here. Translated to English it reads something like this:
"Dell recommends Windows XP Professional Edition"

Then I take a look at the different PC's they sell and ALL of them comes
with Windows XP Home Edition...  =)  So they obviously want you to buy their
computers with XP Home and then buy an upgrade to XP Pro..? Yeah, right...
D.S.
