Re: [News] New Acer Computer is GNU/Linux only

After takin' a swig o' grog, Roy Schestowitz belched out
  this bit o' wisdom:

   Of course, the Linux flavouring might not appeal to all users, and the
   single-core Intel Atom processor may struggle with certain tasks. But for
   a penny under £150, it's hard to complain. If, however, you insist on
   doing so, there's another option - the £249.99 Acer Aspire Revo, beefed
   up with 2GB of RAM, a 160GB hard drive and Microsoft's Windows Vista Home
   Premium operating system.

Bleh.
