Linux Ubuntu is just so much easier and cheaper.

The "zero cost to migrate 4 ever" is the bigger carrot.

I might give mint a whirl on my old EE XP netbook.

f**k MS windows and all it's upgrades.

Just joking, I just bought a new copy of Win 7 ultimate for a new build.

I am not going to chuck away my little netbook though. It is still a very handy tool on the move.

Can you imagine other manufacturers that render their products unusable on a certain expiration date?

I think Epson or another printer manufacturer tried that, they dated their ink cartridges. On a certain expiration date, your cartridge quit working even if it was still full.
