Wow, I can't believe I would be able to get it for $49, seems kinda low to me. O well good for me. Hopefully I don't make the mistake of switching to it from XP and has a lot of problems.

How can you get it for $49?

do they "tend" to run faster, or do they RUN faster? what's "tend" mean? is it 20% faster sometimes, and 4% slower sometimes?

anyway, i just erased this big long spiel about the oddities of how they test, and I'll just say this:

are you really going to stay on XP because one of your browsers opens bigbutts.com .03ms faster than another?
