Great. Now if Virginia would do that, but we just have all Windows and overpriced, overpowered Macs. You don't need a 256-bit graphics card and terabyte of RAM to surf the net at 3 mbps.
I'll be giving out Ubuntu cds on Screw Microsoft Day, of course. Even got some for Macs :)

The Good news about open source is actually funny. Thry could use those windows machines that millions of tax dollars were wasted on, and go on the internet to replace the OS with open source for free...But that wouldn't be right, a large organization would more than likely want to by a prpietary copy just to blame someone if their junk breaks...

He shoulda bitchslapped that fucker, formatted his HDD and installed Window$ 3.1 on it :D And maybe some type of hardware based locking system to prevent him from ever changing his OS again.

No way! Windows XP!!
(3.1 can't possibly be worse than XP)
