This is pretty awesome. Archos releases the Archos 10 Ubuntu edition, with a 500GB hard drive, 2GB RAM and a 6-cell battery built-in. Running Ubuntu 9.04. All for not much more than the Archos 10 with Windows XP, 160GB and 1GB of RAM: available for 375€ at french retailer Surcouf.
This is an example of what's possible when you remove Windows and Microsoft's Tax (the Fee you pay Microsoft for the privilege of using a computer with their Legacy Operating System on it) from the equation, incredibly better hardware specifications at a lower price, coupled with a modern high performance Operating System.
