Horribly overpriced, and uses the anti-consumer design practices present in some of the more established computer manufacturers. It is literally the worst of all worlds. Hardware far worst than the established manufacturers when you consider the price. Beyond that, they are a new company that has no track record. It is the worst possible investment from a consumer standpoint.

You can end up with a system that loses all warranty support over night, along with system updates.

And I bet it can't even play Crysis.

Probably buying for the "Not Microsoft" part. This seems to be Linux on top of Xen (the project site doesn't really describe what Qubes OS actually is). Again though, being a gamer makes this OS mostly useless to me (less so than Linux, no GPU support for apps). Then again, this OS is probably not for me. I do not need to be that secure in my day to day computing.

Why would anyone want this. ----just to say lookie at what I have?---I don't want to waste time on something that has NO reliability rating or performance review.
