There is something vastly wrong with this article.
WINDUMMY OSEN is $30. Normally a company cannot sell it on unless they
multiply its cost by x4. So the price differential should be at the
very least $120 more for the WINDUMMY model. Clearly somebody is
overcharging for Linux and undercharging for WINDUMMY computer
to make up for the shortfall in prices.
This is a major anti-trust issue unless someone care to explain
how the prices have been reached in a manner that follows
standard business practice.
