Any final suggestions before placing my order?

Who the hell cares? The person building the system is going to use Windows
XP. You always make such ridiculous points?

I wasn't making a point. I just noticed that the thread was graced by
the presence of a real expert. So could you help me with that question?

If you answer, I know I'll owe you something, so I'll pay in advance by
informing you that it is bad manners to top post.

 

[Mr. Vice President]

In case you hadn't noticed, Windows is in decline. A million people
who are clueless about Linux today will be using it a year or two
from now.

It would be nice if it comes true but I suspect Linux will be in 3 years
where it was 3 years ago and where it is now, trying to be a better
Windows.

Oh.

How much market share has Linux gained in the past three years?

How much will it gain in the next three years?

Besides thinking about that, you should look at Linus's new job:
