Cash for Operating Systems
Disappointed with Microsoft's (MSFT) Vista? Got some old Linux code banging around on your computer, or are you still dealing with Apple's (AAPL) OSX? Well, there's no need for that. The new Cash for Operating Systems program can solve your problems.

If your OS qualifies, the government will send you a rebate so you can upgrade to the latest iteration from whatever software maker you prefer. With the Cash for Operating Systems program, you'll never again be forced to deal with those pesky Vista crashes.
