Remember when every house had just one television? The personal computer is poised to experience the same phenomenon. The tipping point will be when a personal computer is cheaper than the desk it sits on. Then we'll see PCs in every room of every house.
Every major electronic manufacturer sells a capable $500 computer and there's no indication the low-end price will stop there. Artificially high prices for software is the one obstacle preventing this trend from truly exploding. With no competitors keeping Microsoft's prices in check, they have consistently raised prices and instituted onerous licensing terms. Billions of dollars are being transferred from consumers' wallets to Microsoft's coffers.
LindowsOS addresses this issue by offering an affordable product well-suited for a cost-conscious business environment or a teenager's bedroom. SP2 releases next week — a five-minute installation, handles all common file formats including Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, PDF, Flash, and MP3s.
