As Wojciech still today i don't get explanation what is "desktop usage". Well my second computer stays on the desk. is it desktop usage? > your system. The FreeBSD OS is just the basis for this, not > the entire means. Today there is a problem with global computer disinformation, started first by microsoft, but now continued by many else. Most common misconception is calling "Operating System" huge set of OS itself, tons of programs, GUI interfaces and even web browser. This make confusement on that list VERY often. Statements like "FreeBSD doesn't support FLASH well" are perfect examples. Wouldn't be just clear to say "Adobe doesn't support FLASH under FreeBSD"? So little change, and much closer to reality. > printer: the PC and the license for "Windows".

Windows is usually OEM'ed, but it still costs over 50$ in price, not mentioning NEW computer. 250$ is probably the lowest price of computer with windows licence included, without monitor. Even expensive standard compliant printer is cheaper, and much easier to use.
