And we might yet again; the computer in this case would
run Windows Vista Basic Edition, and the OEM would load
it up with bundleware in addition thereto, and maybe some
adware and non-removable spyware as well.
Ideally, it would fit in a mailbox. In practice, I suspect
something along the size of a Mac mini (2" x 6.5" x 6.5",
2.9 lbs), which won't fit in a small US postal box (3â??
by 5.5â??).

Windows Vista. Because it's time to refresh your hardware. Trust us.
