It's not about the price. It's about not giving money to Microsoft for something you're not going to use. It's about not having to bother about installing Ubuntu yourself. It's about being guaranteed Ubuntu compatible hardware. -- Alec Wright -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
