    It means "will not buy, do not need, go get fucked Microsoft." Personal anecdata, but hey.

    I seem able to accomplish 90% of what I use computers for on a $30 Rasp
    Pi or a $300 chromebook.

    How did you clean the chromebook from any traces of google? Was it easy?
    As you say, for regular day to day browsing, all modern computers are
    vastly over powered. Therefore it is important for OS vendors to build a
    lot of excrement into their operating systems in order to force people to
    buy unnecessarily expensive hardware to be able to run it.
