Reading this wrong was an interesting start of my day. "In evaluating laptop hardware, ELCOT claims to have two primary tests. One is a "fire walk test" that requires laptops to survive being stood and walked upon by 175 * people. The other -- hopefully easier to pass..."Oh well, they do things a little different in India ;)

I'm always glad to hear of people who've come to their senses and decided to stop supporting the crap OS from Redmond. What surprises me is that there are still people who HAVEN'T come to their senses and continue pouring their hard-earned money into the M$ coffers. And what do they get in return? Bloatware, malware, adware, spyware, viruses, constant upgrading of hardware and software... I don't get it!
