You say that for $20 more you can buy windows? Sure, but that's just windows. Does that come with an OfficeSuite? no ...oh that's right that's an additional $250+. You want to write software too? Time to pony up for visual studio 600+. You need to make some graphcs for a web page. DOH!! time for another 600+ for Photoshop. You want to attach your web pages to a robust DB backend. Time to tap another arttery for SQL Server $1000+ I'm going to stop here, since...oh but why..I just realized that you can't leagally run a web server off of your Personal version of Windows. You need the professional version with enoguh licences to handle 100 simultainious users. Is that atleast an additional 10 thousand doallars!!! you better belive it. 'nough said
