I'm not so sure that running M$ programs is too great anyway.  
I hear that the Office suite costs more than two of these 
computers.  And legally, you can only install it on one 
computer.  

What we need are linux applications that match or better the 
Office suite.  Sun's Open Office is a good start, but still has 
bugs, lacks some features I really liked in Wordperfect, and 
isn't real fast.
