Imaginen que mañana los chinos te vendan una PC por u$s 150 que podes tener office/internet/etc PERO que no podes correr windows... solo linux Cuantas oficinas van a decir: me gasto u$s 1000 para tener una PC que corra M$ Office 2006 trucho o me compro esto: China to Crank Out $125 PCs ?

From the article: ‘Chinese-based ZhongKe Menglan Electronics Technology Co. will produce several thousand low-cost PCs to distribute to schools and local governments. The PCs, which will initially sell for $150 to $175, will run on Linux and include 256Mb of RAM, a 40 or 60GB hard drive, and a Godson-2 CPU clocked between 800Mhz and 1Ghz. If initial sales of the product are successful ZhongKe will begin mass production of the units for sale at around 125 US dollars. However, the Godson-2 CPU included in the PCs has come under scrutiny of late. BLX IC Design Corp., producer of the Godson-2, produced its first working prototype in 2005. The chip clocked at 500Mhz, and BLX at the time claimed the Godson’s performance rivaled that of higher-clocked Pentium III CPUs. However, the chip’s architecture has gotten attention around the industry for its similarities to the MIPS chip from MIPS Technologies Inc. According to market research group In-Stat, the Godson-2 is about 95 percent compatible with the MIPS R10000, which was introduced in 1995.’” [...] […] Straight from Slashdot: “A Chinese computer company hopes to sell low-cost PCs to schools and government agencies, but allegations of ripped-off processor designs might slow the effort.
