Re: privileges escalation?

Seems that in order to infect my PC, I would firstly need to install Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows XP, Windows 2000, Windows Vista, Windows NT, Windows ME, Windows 7, Windows Server 2003 or Windows Server 2008...

Review: Samsung Chromebox

For fifty quid less than the reviewed Samsung's RRP, you could have one of these little cuties, with a similar footprint, OS-free from Novatech in Portsmouth and put (K)Ubuntu (or Win XP or pretty much whatever you like) on it.

Like any super-small PC, there are compromises. But all-in-all it's a pretty useful little box, IMHO. It has 500GB HD, 4GB RAM, dual core AMD processor, HDMI c/w full 1080p video. And you're not condemned to working around a crap, still-born OS that ties you to the internet.
