How to Create a Profitable Desktop Business for Linux

1 problem I see with this. You need cheaper hardware to be competitive. Users won't choose an expensive PC with Linux over Windows, the cheaper hardware will fatten up margins and performance will still be great, cause we all know you don't need 2 gb ram, 3ghz cpu, and a 256 pci express video card to run Unbuntu, BSD, Suse, etc. But who will make the cheaper hardware, Intel or AMD? Good luck with that. Bottom line, lower hardware costs if you wish to see open source gain market share. I.E. 1 Ghz cpu, 256 SD Ram, 20 GB hard drive, 17' crt, Unbuntu Linux, fully loaded with apps like open office, mplayer, etc. $149-$199.
