“Now, my concern. This line from The Wall Street
Journal article upset me:“”Since a Windows XP version of the Dell Mini 10 sells for the
same price as the Ubuntu, I can’t see a compelling reason to choose
the Ubuntu option.”“What a shortsighted comment. Forget about initial costs. Let’s
focus on total cost of ownership, and software productivity. A Dell
Mini 10 with Ubuntu will never suffer from the security and virus
issues that a Dell Mini 10 with Windows XP will surely
experience.”
