I tried configuring two Inspiron 1420 laptops identically with the only difference being one with Windows and one with Ubuntu, besides there being different and additional features for the Windows version, I think the two were identical. How much did I save by NOT paying the Microsoft tax? You tell me, the Windows laptop costs $919 and the Linux laptop costs $939. So, it is stupid, I could buy the Windows version for $20 less and put Ubuntu on it. Conceptually, the Ubuntu version should cost $869 (assuming OEM Windows home costs $50) So, the Linux laptop at Dell is a sham, on to the next vendor!!! -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean. _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [hidden email] http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
