$50?
"So for the average consumer (it can be different in a business environment), saving $50 on the OS may be great"
When was the last time you bought MS Windows anything for $50? You must have gotten your copy preinstalled. It's more like $90 for MS Windows XP Home Edition which is a cripled OS at best. If you want to install XP Pro you are looking at $250. If you want thier enterprise version you are looking at a lot more.
makes a difference to me... If you have a business this cost does run into the thousands of dollars especially if you purchased Licence 6. Real joke there.
