Only problem i see is that if they are charging for the digital download also not many people will pay 100.00 for the operating system.

But i do like the concept and the benefit of being able to install on multiple machines.

I have no problem with paying $99 for an honest company's hard work and dedication to creating an OS that runs both unix and windows programs.

I do have a problem with paying $199 to a lying, sneaky, group of greedy bastards that want to drive their competition down into the ground by means of suing them or requiring all PC manufacturers to bundle their operating systems for a bloated piece of crap that spies on you, allows you to get hacked, and only runs Windows programs.
