Out of interest, why do people think that building a PC without Windows should be inherently cheaper? Is it because they correctly factor in the cost of the OEM licence of Windows, but forget to take into account the subsidies and affiliate fees on offer from application software vendors and ISPs for pre-installing 'trial versions' and crippleware?
