Well when you install another OS, this is still unknown, but I bet they will use a special custom Bios so by default other OS i.e. Linux, etc, wont work out of the box. (Unless some hacker manage to open it)

Relevance count should be at 1. Seeing that he is against a pay as you go computer; his protest is obvoious. Unlike your post, a total waste, not only because you FAILED at being funny, and or witty, but because YOUR post is in fact the one with ZERO relevance.

2 - 3 - 4 - 6 - 8?

This is could very well happen. Someone might only need to 'word process' documents while another user would want to play the latest and greatest computer game. I can see how they would think about cashing in on an idea like that. The only customer-base I see Microsoft going after with this type of technology would be the gaming/internet cafes you see around malls and stuff. I don't see it as a thing we will have to worry about as personal consumers looking to buy our own PC's.]]>Dec 29th 2008 4:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/29/microsoft-patent-application-hints-at-pay-as-you-go-pcs/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/29/microsoft-patent-application-hints-at-pay-as-you-go-pcs/Dec 29th 2008 5:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/29/microsoft-patent-application-hints-at-pay-as-you-go-pcs/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/29/microsoft-patent-application-hints-at-pay-as-you-go-pcs/Dec 29th 2008 5:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/29/microsoft-patent-application-hints-at-pay-as-you-go-pcs/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/29/microsoft-patent-application-hints-at-pay-as-you-go-pcs/Dec 29th 2008 5:35PM
