Easily the least computer literate group on the planet.
And the stock
I don't like Windows, but I can't imagine deploying Ubuntu to a bunch of illiterate users. I consistently have problems with distros not configuring WIFI drivers (at all), printers not working on random days, updates whacking stuff that worked, and the general @#$#-hole attitude of the Linux community and their "Well, just open terminal and type the following 25 lines of case-sensitive code."
Don't get me wrong...I love Ubuntu and find it generally easy to use once it's configured, but the moral righteousness of OSS does not make up for the general lack of polish and the complexity of setup. Windows and Mac will continue to dominate the market because they have invested more time making things easy to use, not because they were more "correct" in how they did it.

That's pure heatsink pr0n, those heatsinks don't stay inside cases.
Sorry if this is a dumb question, but is this fancy heatsink stuff akin to audiophiles and their speaker wire? How much of a performance gain are we really talking about? I only have a bunch of crappy laptops, so I really have no idea.
