The Dell Inspiron 8000 that I picked up for $400 a few years ago has an awesome keyboard and monitor, but has XP installed and the hard drive never stops spinning, and there’s never-ending service packs that need to be installed, combined with the spinning drive make it insufferable. Windows, your time’s up! Hello Ubuntu desktop. I mean, who needs the latest .NET monolithic 250 MB upgrade on a casual-use PC with a 10 GB hard drive?
