Re - O/T: Virus mascarading as Microsoft security patch.

a customer of mine recently purchased 5 pc for his office from Dell, here
are the specs:
128m RAM
2.2mh Celeron CPU
CDROM burner

Plus the usual DELL case and stuff.. the software included was XP Pro and
Office XP, total cost was around $380

I cant buy the software alone for that kind of money (it would cost me
around $450 or so).. MS must be giving an amazing deal to DELL to do this..
so why would DELL bother with Unix?

Wal Mart was selling them. Great story on USAToday about a year ago.

Was?

Might still be. I don't buy computers at Wal Mart so I don't keep up. Big
box retailer selling Intel machines with non-MS OS sorts shoots down your
argument.
