Dell Reflects on 25 Years of PCs
An anonymous reader writes "Michael Dell, founder of the world's largest computer company, took a few minutes with CNet News.com to reflect on the past 25 years and offer a few personal notes. While Dell certainly has an impressive business history, he still thinks the best is yet to come. From the article: 'Michael Dell started off using PCs to create homework shortcuts, the way many young people at the time discovered the new devices. Few people, including Dell's parents, realized exactly how large the potential was for the personal computer. More than 20 years after he founded PC's Limited, he admits his parents never quite embraced his decision to leave the University of Texas at Austin to start the company that would eventually bear his name and record $56 billion in revenue during its last fiscal year.'"
He should have stayed in school so his name didn't become attached to the giant piles of crap his company produces.

One of the main corporate reasons for having XP is logging into Active Directory (you can't on XP Home).... dumbass. Of course this is from someone who sees the only valid reason to run pro as the base for a web server.
32gb of memory? It might even be able to run firefox!
