Aw NUTS, well, it basicly said that Moores law has caught up with Microsoft; the cost of a computer is close to being less than the cost of the closed source Microsoft operating system and it's associated software.  It's kind of like the tail wagging the dog; this could get cheapos like me looking more closely at open source as an alternative to buying a $400.00 computer and putting $800.00 into software to run it.
I'll see if I can fix the link; my synopsis isn't as elegant as the article itself, plus they've got statistics to bak up their statements.

Bitter? I'm not bitter. After seeing what Bill Gates and MicroSoft has inflicted upon us. I wish Bill would choke on a cheese sandwich and put us out of his misery.
