Well now instead of buying or pirating windows you're going to be paying a yearly "subscription fee" to keep your computer from locking up and turning into a giant turd.
Personally, I would be ok with paying 50-85 bucks a year. Any more than that and I'll just keep XP/Vista thanks. Hopefully by the time MS births this abortion linux will be a lot more mature for home use.
I can connect to my computer remotely, I frequently access SQL servers, and I already use programs developed on the .NET frame work on my computer running XP. What is the benefit of this?
I also believe there are many linux distros that are currently ready for home use. Proof: My dad is capable of using Ubuntu.
By linux ready for home users I mean games will run on it. That's the primary use of my PC when I get home. I don't tinker anymore so if I can't pop in the dvd, install, and be up and running by the end of the day it's not ready for me yet. Ubuntu is close though, you're right.
The whole line-up consists of the $60 Amps in-ears and $100 Tracks on-ear headphones, which both also come in slightly souped-up and pricier HD variations at $100 and $130, respectively.
