Intellin NUC, Next Unit of Computing, suunnittelee kompuutteria ARM- ja VIA-prosessorilla. Hyvältä näyttää ja hinta 180 dollaria Celeronilla ja Core i3:lla 300 dollaria. Hinta kovempi kuin ARM-laitteilla mutta etuna binäärikoodiyhteensopivuus. Linuxilla, ei Windows 8:lla. Ja mikä tärkeitä - laitteet tulevat markkinoille ilman WINDOWS-VEROA.
“Intel has, in the past, suggested the NUC is an alternative to the likes of the Raspberry Pi – an attempt to get the x86 architecture into the novice-oriented computer sphere before the ARM-based Pi establishes that rival processor platform as the de facto standard. Running Ubuntu means there’s no reason why the NUC can’t be used to learn programming the way the Pi can – just install the likes of Geany and Scratch.
But the Intel box lacks the extra, general purpose IO ports the Pi team has built into its machine – and it’s certainly not inexpensive the way the Pi is, though it’s much faster.”

Ei ole olemassa Windows veroa, kaivappa sellainen dokumentti Verohallinnon sivuilta jossa tämä Windows vero mainittaisiin!
Windowsissa on lisenssimaksu, kuten monissa muissakin tuotteissa.... ei siinä ole mitään ihmeellistä.
Ymmärän yskäsi, mutta kannattaa silti innoisaan pysyä edes hiukan asialinjalla eikä vetää typeryyden puolelle.

"Italian consumer group sues Microsoft over “Windows Tax”
Complaining that it is too hard to get a refund for unwanted preinstalled copies of Windows, an Italian consumer group, Associazione per i diritti degli utenti e consumatori (ADUC), has filed a suit against Microsoft. The suit acknowledges that hardware manufacturers share some part of the blame, but claims that the primary problem is Microsoft.
This is not the first time ADUC has taken to the courts over Windows preinstalls. In 2007, the group successfully sued HP after it failed to abide by the terms of the Microsoft End User License Agreement, which explicitly permits a user to refuse to accept the terms and receive a full refund.
The group claims that although the terms of the EULA are clear enough and include a provision for the refund, actually obtaining one is harder than it should be: PC manufacturers are failing to abide by their contractual obligation. These failures are claimed to be a result of Microsoft using its market position to unlawfully promote its products, to the detriment of users.
ADUC is calling on Italian computer buyers who have bought computers with unwanted and unused Microsoft software to join the suit, arguing that said users should be entitled to a refund.
