These types of systems will be great for many people who are trying to get invlolved in the Linux community who are either
a) afraid of attempting an install (afraid of losing any other OS's on the system)
or
b) just want a second system to play around with Linux on
Also, even if you ARE going to use M$ why not just spend the $250 and install a pirated copy of win2k?! The same system with winXP installed would probably cost you a few hundred dollars more!!!
I for one thought the over-priced, bloated, bug-filled software that the industry is shoveling out was the primary driver behind the OpenSource revolution. If companies aren't going to step up and write good solid code, we'll just have to do it ourselves.
