I built my pc for about 110 bucks with quality parts be it they may be dated but they are of quality and will work on linux.
now if I get fedora/debian/mandrake and put it on there the price stays at 110 - maybe more if you want to include the price of the cd's I burned it on or bought.
now if I want to put windows on there the price triples - because a full version windows xp pro is around 180 to 200 dollars so that just brought the 100 dollar pc to 300.
does anybody see a problem here - apparently ballmer doesn't

ballmer is nothing but a used car salesman.
