Excellent - rather than some of the deals done in the past, this one is
likely to be commercially viable. There's no payment to MS for an
operating system so the cost is held down, and the terminating device is
essentially free of significant threats from malware and viruses,
assuming that they've been sane enough to avoid running as 'root'.
This could well be a first for many people, and as was suggested in the
article, a lot of people are put off by complexity, but again, a
computer which isn't going to slow down, by pulled into botnets, need a
reinstall every six months, isn't going to crash and so on could be
excellent.

To be considered successful, a woman must be much better at her job
than a man would have to be. Fortunately, this isn't difficult.
