How low can a Linux PC go?

In the UK, wasn't Vista about 7 times more expensive than this whole PC
(hardware and software)? I'm talking about the uncrippled edition, with all
the bugs, WGA, and lack of software/hardware compatibility out of the box.
Amazing. If only the Financial Times and the likes of it had people aware of
Linux...
