Got a new computer for my birthday.

I was excited to get a new computer for my Birthday.

New tower with memory to burn,   Very large hard drive, a couple of DVD drives and new keyboard and mouse.

I said no to Windows.  Had to get this thing made.  Best Buy and other stores that sell computers you get what you see.  That includes Windows and you pay for it.

By having it made I saved $150 for not having Windows.  So that means I saved even more, no anti-virus, no office suite, no games, no utilities. 

I put Linux on the machine and saved tons of money and I have control of my computer.  Look at Windows License.  You lose control of your computer when you put Windows on it.  Microsoft takes control of your computer when you accept the license.  They can scan your computer without your permission to see if you are using unregistered software.  If you are they can shut down your computer.

By switching to Linux I saved Hundreds if not Thousands.
