Why microsoft is doomed

[yesthattom]

I didn't think about this aspect until saw it on this show:

I would say low-cost PC's are an obvious example now. Moore's Law has taken us to the point where the hardware cost on a new PC could be under $100. A PC could easily be sold for $200, so a $50 Windows license just doesn't play anymore. As hardware costs go down their model just doesn't work anymore. In the Third World, especially, you'll be seeing that. It just doesn't make sense if there is a free alternative.

Now I understand why MIT is so wild about this project.
