That would sell great over here... A small Mercedes 190 costs $65,000 over here. The cheapest east european cars are $12,000. Windows is about 10% of the cost of a new PC over here. If you want MS Office, too, Windows+Office is 40% of the price of a new PC. Try to image someone selling a computer 40% cheaper, with much more software preinstalled, and the computer runs more stable. That's the situation year 2001. And the support will be different: The 40% cheaper version will have a hot-line for the office suite ($0.55 a minute). The expensive MS version will have no support whatsoever. Lars.
