Bill Gates has just learnt the best things in life are free

"Of course there are people who need the more arcane features built into 
Microsoft Word and Excel, but the vast majority of users employ less than 5 
per cent of those facilities. For them, the open source (ie, free) 
OpenOffice package would be more than adequate. And those readers who felt 
that open source software is too technical for them might be surprised to 
learn that Evesham - a High Street computer retailer - now sells a PC with 
Linux and OpenOffice pre-installed for £250, including VAT. "
