In conclusion
Within the next months, new machines with quadcore processors and 8Gb of RAM will start to appear in the market at very affordable prices. Will this be the last step required to use Ubuntu as default OS in the machine and run Windows XP or Vista under a free PC emulator such as Virtual Box? Would you imagine a machine free from viruses to be possible?
The future is looking very bright for free software, what do you think about this?
Hope you have a pleasant week and don't forget to post your opinion about this matter on boot-land!
