Supply and demand ? how meny rad tools ala delphi ? Tons of linux distros
to cjhoose from , hence the lower price.
To be honest ( now I realy need to put on the asbestos underwear after
starting this ranting flame war) I would pay the $999.99 as it would allow
me to move several apps ro linux and dithc windows far all but one app that
I can slap on and older P166 as its used only once a week. Now that will
help save my sanity of upkeep and dealing with the three MS4 boxes we have.
Linux is just much more stable and reliable.
