Sorry, I meant when you buy a PC with no OS on it, you save a shitload.

I tend not to buy them, as I'll already have a cracked copy.

I tend to buy one every few years
but make sure it's OEM and I can install it on another PC if I upgrade.

'Linux' always reminds me of the smelly boy from Peanuts.

it's fine for viewing porn and posting on facebook.
