My question Is have these computers EVER sold for $100?? Rate this comment: (Reply)

  Why are they hikeing the price to add an OS that will hardly run on the box and will likely be unusable if it does run due to crashes/slowness? On top of that, windows is trying to make money off this?! they are charging licensing fees to a completely non-profit movement to better the standard of education in developing countries... I applaud Walter Bender stepping down over this and completely agree with him on it. Rate this comment: (Reply)
