Hardware

I don't really use Linux beuscae it's cheap or free I use it beuscae it's the right tool for the tasks I need to perform.About costs, people often neglect the psychic costs' involved on this, in fact that's something every single Product Manager / Marketing Manager should always be aware, and in this case: psychic costs > monetary costs. So from my perspective changing to a hardware platform which works out of the box does help a lot even if I have to spend some €'s on it.And yes, KDE also runs fine on Intel, Unity probably as well so looking in another way, everything does work out of the box while it doesn't with ATI proprietary blob, or while I have temperature issues with open source drivers Now I'm happy, it's worth every single €.
