Put it all together, and here's what I see happening. In the next few quarters, low-end Linux-based PCs are going to quickly take over the bottom rung of computing.

That Tiffany-level price tag will make all but the most Microsoft-centric businesses start considering the Linux/SAAS alternative. - Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols
