Some serious hardware

I'm a Mac user but I think that the Sun desktops are a very good option, given the fact that they can run any operating system available (except for OS X). Wouldn't it be great if you bought one of this cool -64 bit- workstations for 900 usdl and load it with Linux? If you want it so bad, you can also load Vista. Never before was a Sun computer so easy to aquire.
It is really interesting because other vendors only distribute Windoze with their computers, but Sun ships them without any OS installed (or you can choose Solaris), so you can choose what to do with your desktop from the beggining without any bundled or unnecesary software.
If you choose to buy a copy of Vista, download Linux or simply get a Mac, you still don't have to spend a lot of money in software. There are great Open Source and free software options out there like OpenOffice.org, Firefox, Opera, The GIMP, etc... all of them available for download.
If Mac isn't an option for you, drop away your Vaio, Acer, HP or Dell computer away and get a Sun Ultra 20 workstation, load it with your favourite OS and software and break the boundaries of OEM computing. Keep celebrating Sotware Freedom Day by installing OpenOffice.org in the computers of your unaware users ^.^
