Trying to have it both ways

Microsoft are desparate to move on from XP but this "No Frills PC" thing is beginning to look more than just a passing fad,
"There actually is a market for those things?", I picture Steve Balmer asking, before adding "we can't allow linux to gain a foothold in the PC market, we haven't fought 20+ years just to give them a free pass"

If only those PC makers were wittier, they could get XP licenses for free!
